Job Description

• Design, synthesize, and optimize advanced porous materials, with a particular focus on organic porous materials, for both carbon dioxide and heavy metal adsorption and separation applications.
• Develop and implement synthetic strategies to tailor the pore structure, chemical functionality, and host-guest interaction properties of porous adsorbents.
• Conduct comprehensive material characterization to elucidate structural, chemical, and morphological properties of the synthesized materials.
• Evaluate adsorption and separation performance toward both carbon dioxide and heavy metals, and related separation processes.
• Analyze experimental results to establish structure-property-performance relationships and provide mechanistic insights for materials and separation process design and optimization.
• Prepare technical reports, research summaries, presentation materials, and manuscript-related data to support project progress and dissemination.
• Support laboratory operations, including experimental planning, instrument operation, data management, safety compliance, and coordination with project team members.

Qualifications

• The candidate should have at least a bachelor's degree in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, and related fields.
• The candidate should have some experience in materials synthesis and characterization.
• Experience in separation engineering is a plus.
