Postdoctoral Position in Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactivity at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in United States

The Dempsey group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate the impact of interfacial environments on proton-coupled electron transfer reactivity in small molecule catalysts and model systems. This opportunity is ideal for candidates with a strong background in chemistry, particularly those experienced in electroanalytical studies, organic and inorganic synthesis, electrode surface modification, and mechanistic studies. The research will focus on advancing the understanding of electron transfer processes, catalysis, and the modification of electrode surfaces, contributing to the broader field of chemical reactivity and catalysis.

Applicants should demonstrate evidence of high productivity, creativity, and innovation in their prior research. Leadership experience, a collaborative approach to research, and a willingness to mentor early career researchers are highly valued. Candidates must be self-motivated, ambitious, and possess strong written and oral communication skills, as well as good organizational abilities. The position encourages individuals who are eager to expand their scientific expertise and work outside their comfort zones to push the boundaries of current scientific knowledge.

To apply, qualified candidates should email a cover letter that directly addresses the seven listed criteria, along with a CV containing at least two references, to Professor Jillian Dempsey at [email protected]. The priority deadline for applications is February 1, 2026. For more information about the group and research interests, applicants may refer to Professor Dempsey's LinkedIn profile.
