VinUniversity in Hanoi, Vietnam, is seeking a pioneering Postdoctoral Researcher to join the new environmental catalysis laboratory. This unique opportunity allows the successful candidate to co-design and commission a state-of-the-art research facility focused on transforming Vietnam's rare-earth deposits into high-performance catalysts for green technology. The research program centers on solar-driven photothermocatalysis to eliminate industrial air pollutants, such as toluene, at their source.

The position is ideal for recent PhD graduates in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or closely related fields. Experience in gas-phase catalysis is highly desirable, and candidates with a strong background in environmental catalysis or photothermocatalysis are encouraged to apply. The role offers significant leadership and project management experience, as the postdoc will help build the lab from the ground up and shape the research direction.

The successful applicant will receive a competitive salary ranging from $30,000 to $40,000 USD per year. The review of applications will begin on January 31, 2026, and will continue until the position is filled. Interested candidates should send a cover letter and detailed CV to Prof. Kumar Vikrant, Principal Investigator, at [email protected]. For more information, please refer to the provided link.

Key research areas include environmental catalysis, materials science, chemistry, rare-earth elements, industrial air pollution, and solar-driven catalysis. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated researchers to contribute to green technology and environmental sustainability in Vietnam.
