About this position
Postdoctoral Research Fellow opening in the Chen Lab at the University of Michigan (Department of Chemistry, Ann Arbor Campus).
The project focuses on molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear optical spectroscopy, and surface/interface science, especially sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and ultrafast pump-probe SFG studies. Research topics include molecular structures and interactions at interfaces involving biological molecules, polymer materials, organic molecules, metals, and semiconductors.
The successful candidate will conduct independent and collaborative research, publish peer-reviewed articles, present results to industrial collaborators, and write technical reports. The role is fully onsite in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States.
Required background: a PhD in Physics, Physical Chemistry, Laser Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field. Desired experience includes lasers, nonlinear optical systems, ultrafast spectroscopy, strong publication record, and strong communication/organizational skills.
Funding: one-year appointment with possible renewal, contingent on performance, work availability, and funding. Salary is listed as $63,480/year.
Application deadline: August 31, 2026. Apply by email to [email protected] with a cover letter, CV with publications, and three references.
