Postdoctoral Researchers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The group is on the lookout for qualified and motivated postdoctoral researchers. Experience in the following areas is particularly desirable: electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, framework material synthesis (MOFs, COFs), air- and moisture-sensitive inorganic synthesis, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. Interested candidates should send an email to Agnes containing the following items in a single PDF document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A 1-page cover letter describing your research interests and motivation for joining our group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A 2-page summary of your research accomplishments and skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A C.V. including a full publication list and contact information for at least three references (one of which should be your Ph.D. advisor).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Reprints of your most significant publication(s) (1\u20133). <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
