About this position

A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, supervised by Associate Professor Jovan Kamcev. The successful candidate will join an NSF-funded collaborative project focused on the recovery of platinum group metals (PGMs) from mining wastewater. This research combines the Kamcev group’s expertise in membrane-based separations with the Su group’s work on electrosorption at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The project aims to develop advanced methods for critical minerals recovery, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and chemical engineering innovation.

The ideal applicant will have a background in electrochemistry, electrochemical separations, membrane-based separations, or critical minerals recovery. Applicants should hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline. The position is fully funded by the National Science Foundation, though specific stipend details are not provided in the announcement.

To apply, candidates should email their CV and a cover letter outlining their background and fit for the position to Professor Jovan Kamcev at [email protected]. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers interested in chemical engineering, environmental science, and sustainable resource recovery to contribute to a high-impact project at a leading US institution.

Funding details

The position is funded by an NSF grant. No specific details on stipend or benefits are provided.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. Experience in electrochemistry, electrochemical separations, membrane-based separations, or critical minerals recovery is highly desirable. Candidates should submit a CV and a cover letter describing their background and fit for the position.
