About this position
The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine is advertising an ongoing recruitment for postdoctoral scholars across the 2026-27 academic year. The opening is intended for recent Ph.D. graduates working in chemistry or closely related areas, with opportunities spanning several major research directions.
Research areas explicitly highlighted include inorganic and organometallic chemistry, organic chemistry and chemical biology, physical/atmospheric/analytical chemistry, polymer/materials/nanoscience chemistry, and theoretical chemistry. The postdoctoral positions are tied to the research programs of individual principal investigators, so the exact project will depend on the host laboratory and available funding. This makes the opportunity suitable for candidates seeking to join an active chemistry research environment with projects grounded in externally supported research contracts.
The appointment is described as an initial two-year postdoctoral role, with the possibility of renewal subject to support availability. The position sits within the School of Physical Sciences at UC Irvine and is based in Irvine, California.
