Nanoscience Post-Doctoral Fellow

Position

Nanoscience Post-Doctoral Fellow

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 a Department of Defense‑funded project that studies interfacial interactions between microbes and metal‑organic frameworks (MOFs). A talented individual with expertise in Materials Science or nanoscience and strong hands‑on experience in electron microscopy tools is highly encouraged to apply.

• Operate and maintain the high‑resolution transmission electron microscope (25%)
• Characterize biohybrid materials and substrates using electron microscopy tools (25%)
• Fabricate biohybrid devices and evaluate their performance for charge capacitors and photovoltaic cells (30%)
• Write scientific reports and prepare manuscripts (20%)
• Drive the project goals and meet the project objectives on time
• Oversee one undergraduate and one graduate student on the project
• Manage the lab

• Ph.D. in Materials Science or related fields, including biomolecular science, chemistry, biology, nanoscale sciences, and nanotechnology
• Strong organizational, communication, and writing skills

• Ph.D. in Materials Science or related field with extensive hands‑on experience in electron microscopy (HR‑TEM and SEM)
• Exposure to microbiology research, working with bacteria, and interfacing live microbes with abiotic substrates
