About this position
The Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Riverside is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join Dr. Fudong Liu’s lab and contribute to an open research area in catalysis and environmental engineering.
The position centers on research in heterogeneous catalysis and thermal catalysis, with project directions spanning nanomaterial synthesis, single-atom and cluster catalysis, and the design and testing of catalysts for environmental pollution control and clean energy conversion. The advertised research topics include HC/CO oxidation, NO/NH3 oxidation, NH3 decomposition, NOx reduction, volatile organic compound removal, greenhouse gas reduction and utilization, and catalytic routes for clean energy source conversion.
The role is based in the Liu Lab within UC Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering and is described as an open area opportunity for applicants across chemical and environmental engineering who can bring strong potential for impactful research. The advert emphasizes both fundamental and applied catalysis, including gas-solid interface catalysis, catalyst synthesis, catalytic activity testing, and characterization of metal, metal oxide, and zeolite catalysts.
Selected work is expected to make use of a broad experimental toolkit, including physisorption and chemisorption methods, temperature-programmed surface techniques, gas-phase catalytic conversion setups, and analytical and spectroscopic instrumentation such as mass spectrometry, FTIR, GC, GC/MS, TEM, SEM, DRIFTS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and XAS.
The appointment is positioned within a research-intensive university environment and includes connection to the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering and the wider UC Riverside postdoctoral community.
Funding details
Annual salary range of $69,073-$82,836; initial appointment for two years with possible renewal based on performance and availability of funding.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering or a closely related field, with a strong heterogeneous catalysis research background. The ideal candidate should have strong motivation in fundamental and applied heterogeneous catalysis, hands-on experience in thermal catalysis and heterogeneous gas-solid interface catalysis, and demonstrated experience in synthesis, catalytic activity testing, and standard characterization of metal, metal oxide, and zeolite catalysts. Preferred experience includes heterogeneous catalysis, thermal catalysis, nanomaterial synthesis, single atom or cluster catalysis, physisorption, chemisorption, temperature-programmed reduction/oxidation/desorption, surface reaction techniques, gas-phase catalytic conversions under ambient or high pressure flow-through conditions, Mass Spec, FTIR (transmission mode), GC, GC/MS, microscopy and spectroscopy techniques such as TEM, SEM, in situ DRIFTS, Raman, XPS, XAS, environmental pollutant control, mentorship of undergraduate and/or graduate researchers, and strong writing ability demonstrated by publication record and fellowship/grant applications.
How to apply
Submit a cover letter including research specializations, a CV, and optionally three letters of reference through AP Recruit at the UC Riverside application portal. Applications received by July 6, 2026 will receive full consideration; the position remains open until filled.
