The Center for Electrochemical Molecular Conversion at Pusan National University, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to join their research team. The position focuses on electrochemical molecular conversion, with particular emphasis on CO₂ reduction, N₂ reduction, and small-molecule conversion. The research group has recently been awarded a Science Research Center (SRC) grant funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), providing a dynamic and well-supported environment for advanced research. Applicants should have a PhD in Electrochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, or a closely related field. Essential qualifications include experience with spectroscopy and electrochemical molecular conversion, as well as hands-on skills in electrode fabrication, catalyst development, and understanding of reaction mechanisms. Candidates with expertise in photoelectrochemical conversion and in situ spectroelectrochemical techniques are especially encouraged to apply. Please note that applicants whose primary research interests are in batteries, supercapacitors, biosensors, or general electrocatalysis (such as ORR) will not be considered for this position. The successful candidate will receive a monthly salary ranging from 3 to 5 million KRW, commensurate with experience and publication record. The position is fully funded by the SRC grant, ensuring financial stability and access to state-of-the-art research facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers interested in advancing their careers in the field of electrochemical molecular conversion, working alongside leading experts at Pusan National University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. To apply, interested candidates should send their application materials to Professor Haesik Yang at [email protected]. Due to the high volume of applications, only those with outstanding qualifications will be contacted. For more information about the research group and ongoing projects, candidates may refer to Professor Yang's LinkedIn profile.

PhD Student / Postdoctoral Scholar opening in electrochemical biosensors at the Bioelectrochemistry and Nanotechnology Laboratory (BNL) , Department of Chemistry, Pusan National University (Busan, South Korea). The project focuses on electrochemical DNA/RNA detection , aptamer-based electrochemical biosensors , and electrochemical immunosensors . The post specifically notes that work centered mainly on the electrochemical detection of small redox-active molecules at modified electrodes is outside the scope. Applicants should have an MS or PhD in Electrochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field , plus hands-on experience with electrochemical biosensors. Experience in bioconjugation and biomolecular purification is a strong advantage. Funding is provided: PhD students receive a monthly stipend of 1.8 million KRW , and postdoctoral scholars receive a monthly salary of 3–5 million KRW depending on experience and publication record. To apply, email your CV with full publication list and a brief statement of research interests to [email protected] . Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
