A postdoctoral researcher is sought to collaborate on an application for the ANID – FONDECYT Postdoctoral Fellowship 2027, working with Muhammad Ismail's group at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The group specializes in advanced functional materials for environmental and energy applications, with particular emphasis on photocatalysis, semiconductor heterojunctions, and contaminant removal. The successful candidate will help develop a research proposal that aligns both with the group’s expertise and their own research background.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field, with the degree awarded in 2023 or later, in accordance with ANID FONDECYT eligibility criteria. A strong publication record is required, as is a background in photocatalysis, nanomaterials, or environmental remediation. Proficiency in both spoken and written Spanish is essential for this opportunity.

To apply, candidates should email a CV (including publications from the last 5 years) and a 1-page statement outlining their research idea and its fit with the group to [email protected]. Only complete applications sent by email will be considered, and shortlisted candidates will be contacted to further develop the proposal for submission to ANID FONDECYT 2027. Please refrain from making inquiries via LinkedIn messages.

This opportunity is ideal for researchers interested in advanced materials, environmental science, and energy applications, and offers the chance to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary group at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Funding is dependent on the success of the ANID FONDECYT application and will follow the fellowship’s standard terms, typically including a stipend and research support.
