About this position
University of California, Irvine is advertising multiple Postdoctoral Scholar openings in the Samueli School of Engineering, including positions connected to the Clean Energy Institute, the Ardoña Lab, Han Li’s laboratory, Professor Chang C. Liu’s laboratory, and the Quinton Smith Group.
The research areas span energy research (electrochemistry, combustion kinetics, fuel cells, gas turbines, smart grids), biomolecular assemblies, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, integrated computational-experimental enzyme engineering, antibody design and evolution, protein design, gene birth and neofunctionalization, tissue engineering, and stem cell biology.
These are salaried postdoctoral positions, with salary ranges listed on the page (for example, $69,073-$82,836 and other level-based ranges). The Clean Energy Institute posting states that applicants need a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and/or Aerospace Engineering. Other postings describe highly motivated applicants and research-specific expertise aligned with the lab focus.
Deadline information varies by posting: one Clean Energy Institute position closes on 2027-06-30, while some others remain open until filled. If you are interested, review the individual posting carefully and submit through the University of California, Irvine engineering employment page.

What's required
A Ph.D. is required for the Clean Energy Institute postdoctoral positions, with acceptable backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and/or Aerospace Engineering. Applicants should be highly motivated; the Ardoña Lab and Li Lab positions focus on energy-transporting biomolecular assemblies, metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and integrated computational-experimental enzyme engineering. The Liu Lab position focuses on antibody design and evolution, domain-specific evolutionary data for ML and protein design, and gene birth/neofunctionalization.
How to apply
Review the specific postdoctoral scholar posting on the University of California, Irvine engineering employment page. Follow the individual posting's application instructions and apply before the listed closing date or by the next review date for full consideration where applicable.
