Description
Are you passionate about developing advanced polymeric materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, including batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers, to contribute to the transition towards net-zero carbon emissions?
The group of Prof. Anqi Wang at KAUST is recruiting several postdocs to join our dynamic team. Our research is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, encompassing organic and polymer chemistry, membrane science and engineering, and electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering. Drawing on these complementary specialisms, we focus on the function-led design and synthesis of microporous polymers and their applications in electrochemical processes for energy storage and conversion. You will independently lead a research direction within the group, while working closely with team members and collaborators. Starting with defined projects, you will have the freedom to explore your own scientific pursuits and passions. We offer a highly competitive salary, free housing and subsidized medical insurance.
