This position is in the Kuno Research Laboratory, and the Research Scientist will will conduct basic research on the origin and mechanism of photosegregation and photoremixing in lead-based, mixed-halide perovskites. Other position details include: conducting research related to one-dimensional and low-dimensional materials, including mixed-halide perovskites; assist graduate students in their current projects, prepare manuscripts for publication and grant proposals for funding. The Research Scientist is expected to write manuscripts for publication and present results at meetings and/or conferences, as well as assist in acquiring research funding including writing grant proposals.

This is a limited-term position for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024, per availability of external funding.

There is a preferred candidate identified for this position.

Doctoral Degree (PhD) and 3-4 years experience.

Ability to conduct chemical syntheses under inert atmosphere with possible Schlenk link use. Also be able to operate and conduct syntheses in an inert atmosphere glovebox. Following synthesis, able to characterize produced nano and microcrystals using electron and optical microscopies. For the former, this includes scanning electron microscopy-based energy dispersive X-ray measurements. Also includes x-ray diffraction. For the latter, able to conduct in situ photosegregation and photoremixing studies under above gap illumination of specimens.
