Postdoctoral Scholar - Chemistry Department (single-entity optical and electrochemical microscopy)

The laboratory of Katherine (Kallie) Willets in Penn State's Department of Chemistry seeks to fill multiple postdoctoral positions in single-entity characterisation using optical and electrochemical microscopy. Research correlates structure and function in single nanoparticles to understand how heterogeneity in morphology, interfaces and local environment affects performance in electrochemical, catalytic and sensing applications. Postdocs are expected to lead projects and contribute to collaborative research.

Review of applicants began immediately and continues until the positions are filled; shortlisted candidates are asked for reference letters by email.

PhD in chemistry received recently or by the start of employment; extensive experience in optical microscopy of single entities, including instrumentation development and design. Apply with a cover letter describing research background, training and interests, and a CV.
