Post Doc Research Scientist - Chemistry The University of Wyoming is delighted to receive your interest in our vacant position! We strive to connect with qualified and uniquely talented individuals to join our campus community. We would love to hear how your experiences translate to this position, the University's Mission, Vision, and Values, and encourage you to submit an application today! JOB TITLE: Post Doctoral Research Scientist JOB PURPOSE: The Design of Inorganic Materials Lab, in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming, led by Prof. de Sousa Oliveira is accepting applications for a postdoctoral researcher or research assistant with experience in modeling polaron transport. Candidates with a PhD and no previous experience will be hired as postdoctoral researchers. Candidates with additional experience will be hired at the research assistant rank. Research assistants will be expected to conduct research at a higher level of independence and contribute significantly to the development of the project. Band conduction is the typical mode of conduction for inorganic materials. However, in polar and ionic solids, local lattice distortions can lead to (localized) polaron conduction. We aim to investigate if polaron hopping is a suitable conduction mechanism for thermoelectricity in MOFs. This work is supported by the Department of Energy through an Early Career Research Program Award. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
