Position description
The Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley seeks applications for an Assistant, Associate, or Full Project Scientist, who will work closely with Professor Jeffrey Long. The primary responsibilities of this position will be to oversee the establishment and operations of the Early-stage Materials Testing Laboratory, involving multiple research groups internal and external to UC Berkeley.
Research in the Long Group focuses on the design and controlled synthesis of novel inorganic materials and molecules toward the fundamental understanding of new physical phenomena, with applications in magnetism, conductivity, catalysis, molecular separations, and gas storage. We employ a range of physical methods to analyze and characterize our materials comprehensively, including by SQUID magnetometry, X-ray and neutron diffraction, various spectroscopic techniques, and gas adsorption analysis.
The key duties of the position and majority of time will be spent on active and creative research, both theoretical and applied, as related to material-based gas sorption applications. The bulk of these duties will involve using broad knowledge and competencies to identify opportunities for adsorbents to be used in industrial processes, then using specialized expertise to design and perform specific experiments which will evaluate novel materials for these opportunities across a range of metrics.
As this task cannot be carried out with off-the-shelf commercial instrumentation, the design, testing, benchmarking, and eventual operation of the novel instrumentation will be important to the creative research endeavors.
The general position duties include:
- Planning and overseeing the establishment of a laboratory space for new in situ and operando gas sorption instruments.
- Designing, procuring, and constructing a range of in situ and operando instruments for the purposes of analyzing adsorbent materials for industrially relevant conditions.
- Designing, procuring and constructing a range of in situ and operando probes for the purposes of analyzing adsorbent materials, such as IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
- Designing and performing in situ and operando experiments to analyze adsorbent materials, probing characteristics such as uptake, cycling stability, structure, mechanism of adsorption, selectivity, thermodynamics, and kinetics.
- Working closely with group members to provide them with relevant in situ and operando analysis on newly-synthesized materials.
- Working closely with group members to train them in experimental practices, scientific writing, and presentation of their findings.
- Maintaining active knowledge and familiarity with research ongoing in the Long Group and relevant literature to best mentor group members as described above.
- Coordinating the composition of proposals to funding agencies, including assisting with seeking new funding opportunities as needed.
- Coordinating the dissemination of collaborative research with various groups at UC Berkeley and with external research groups, including manuscript preparation and formal reporting to various funding agencies as needed.
- Assisting the principal investigator in the mentorship of graduate and undergraduate researchers, writing articles for publication in scholarly journals, and presenting research findings at meetings and conferences.
