A twelve-month postdoctoral project beginning in January 2027 studies electroactive chiral materials derived from [7]helicene, quasi[8]circulenes and neutral helical radicals incorporating tetrathiafulvalene. Combining helical scaffolds with electron-donor units is intended to influence charge delocalization, molecular packing, conductivity and spin…

Tenure-stream appointment beginning July 1, 2027, focused on statistical mechanics applied to chemical systems. Develop theoretical and computational research on molecular structure, dynamics and collective behaviour, potentially including nonequilibrium phenomena, soft matter and biomolecular systems. Responsibilities include an independent externally…

This postdoctoral role in Hiromasa Niinomi’s group develops research on light–matter interactions and light-induced phase transitions, particularly the chirality and topology of light, or on nonequilibrium behavior at high-pressure water–ice interfaces. Researchers may contribute experience in lasers, optical microscopy, spectroscopy and nanofabrication, or…

Penn Chemistry seeks a tenure-track researcher in energy conversion, energy utilization, energy-related materials or sustainability, particularly through advanced experimental methods. The appointee will develop an externally funded research programme, teach graduate and undergraduate courses, and mentor student researchers. The expected appointment date is…

Develop coupled-cluster electronic-structure methods with periodic boundary conditions in Marco Caricato’s group. Apply the methods to electronic and optical properties of polymers, surfaces, films and crystalline materials, analyse results and prepare publications. The hybrid appointment also includes student mentoring and professional development. Initial…

Tenure-track recruitment in experimental inorganic, analytical or physical chemistry, beginning 1 July 2027. Areas of interest include solid-state materials, analytical methods, spectroscopy and interfaces; AI and machine-learning expertise is encouraged. Establish a visible, externally funded research programme and teach and mentor undergraduate and…

Full-time faculty recruitment in the Department of Chemistry, Physics and Materials Science, with an anticipated August 2027 start. Teach chemistry, develop externally funded research, mentor undergraduates and contribute committee service and community STEM outreach. The department particularly values experimental physical chemistry and integrating online…

Lead experimental development in the Attochirality ERC project, commissioning circularly polarised attosecond sources, pulse-characterisation methods and spin-resolved electron detection. Coordinate reaction-microscope experiments on chiral electronic dynamics and mentor junior researchers. This full-time appointment is initially for one year and can be…

Join the Attochirality ERC project to build and characterise circularly polarised attosecond light pulses and investigate chiral charge migration. Work combines high-harmonic generation, ultrafast optics and three-dimensional electron–ion coincidence measurements, covering isolated molecules and microhydrated clusters. The full-time doctoral position is…
