About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opening at the University of North Texas in the Ma research lab, led by Shengqian Ma, focused on advanced functional porous materials.

The project centers on the design, synthesis, and functionalization of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for catalysis, as well as the fabrication of COF membranes for water treatment and extraction of critical metals such as lithium, gallium, platinum group metals, and rare earth metals. The lab also works broadly on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and related porous materials for energy, biological, and environmental applications.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, materials science, or chemical engineering. A strong background in COF design and synthesis, especially organic monomer design/synthesis, is required. Preferred experience includes COF/POP membrane fabrication, electrodialysis, nano-fluidic membranes, and catalysis. Strong communication skills are also expected.

The position is based at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, United States. The role involves planning and executing experiments, training and supervising graduate and undergraduate students, maintaining laboratory equipment, and contributing to proposals and papers.

Funding is described as competitive and commensurate with qualifications, experience, and discipline, subject to university guidelines and available funding. Applicants must submit at least two professional references. Apply through the UNT System careers portal.
