Primary Purpose of the Organizational Unit
The mission of the Nanoscience department is to prepare students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to conduct basic and advanced research in Nanoscience in industrial, governmental or academic settings. Within this context, the Nanoscience Department provides a graduate level trans- disciplinary educational and discovery research experience in the nanosciences, sustainable nanosystems, innovation and community engaged outreach. It also works collaboratively with the Nanoengineering Department to achieve an integrated foundational research program in emerging high impact areas. Scientists in this new and emerging field seek to comprehend, gather and organize knowledge of the nanoworld through careful observations and creative, visionary thinking. Nanoscience is a multidisciplinary field bringing together vast knowledge from mathematics and all the core sciences: physics, biology, chemistry, and from their derivatives such as material science, pharmacology, neurochemistry, ecology etc. Consequently, nanoscientists are scientists engaging in an organized activity of manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales that are versatile and fluent in mathematics and the core sciences with a particular world view based on the synergy of these core sciences and on their derived applications to the macro world. Nanoscience is a new way of thinking about old things.
Position Summary
The Department of Nanoscience at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join a research team focused on the development of reliable, sensitive, and field- deployable chemosensors for the detection of various environmental, chemical and biological species. This postdoctoral fellowship position is highly interdisciplinary, spanning from chemistry, polymer science, spectroscopy.
One of specific applications is for identification of different forms of mercury, including MeHg and inorganic Hg contaminants at remediation sites. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, synthesis, and testing of new chemosensors and the understanding of the fundamental aspects of the chemosensors. Additionally, the candidate will collaborate with other researchers in the group and collaborators at the DOE National Lab.
Responsibilities:
Design, synthesize, and evaluate new chemosensors
Generate detailed reports of research results and analyze data
Prepare manuscripts for publication and present findings in relevant conferences
Participate in the training of graduate students and lab maintenance
Minimum Qualifications
PhD in Chemistry, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology or a related field.
