About this position

The Amini Lab at the University of British Columbia is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in redox-active materials chemistry for electrochemical energy-storage applications.

The project focuses on designing, synthesizing, and chemically functionalizing redox-active organic, inorganic, and coordination compounds. The researcher will tune redox potentials, electrochemical reversibility, reaction kinetics, and stability, then investigate structure–property relationships linking chemical composition and functionalization to redox behavior.

The fellow will carry out electrochemical characterization of synthesized materials and contribute to research connected with redox flow batteries and other sustainable electrochemical technologies. The work combines materials chemistry, electrochemistry, and engineering, with potential collaboration involving experts in electrochemistry and AI-enabled materials discovery.

Led by Professor Kiana Amini, the interdisciplinary lab conducts research in electrochemical engineering, including energy storage, electrochemical carbon capture, and electrochemical lithium extraction. The researcher will work alongside academic and industrial partners in the Department of Materials Engineering at UBC’s Vancouver campus.

Funding details

The position offers a salary of CAD $70,000 per year plus approximately 20% in benefits. Candidates holding external postdoctoral awards or fellowships, such as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, will receive an additional top-up.

What's required

Applicants should have or be close to completing a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field. Candidates should have expertise in synthetic organic and/or inorganic or coordination chemistry, design and synthesis of redox-active molecules and materials, chemical modification to tune redox properties, and relevant materials characterization techniques. Experience with electrochemical characterization, particularly cyclic voltammetry, is an asset. A strong publication record, good written and oral communication skills, independence, and the ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary environment are expected.

How to apply

Email Prof. Kiana Amini at [email protected] with the subject line “Postdoctoral Application – [Your Name]”. Include a CV with publication list and a brief description of relevant research experience, especially materials synthesis and redox-active materials.
