An enthusiastic postdoc is invited to join
the research groups of Profs. Penn (Chemistry) , Tsapatsis,
and McCormick (Chemical Engineering and Materials Science)
to conduct studies on the nucelation and growth of zeolites
under solvothermal conditions. Our groups are pursuing basic
and applied research of zeolite crystal nucleation and growth
and the assembly of zeolite nanocrystals into functional devices.
A Ph.D. with solid background in CRYO TEM characterization
and sample preparation is required. Experience with solvothermal
synthesis of nanoparticles - most especially, experience with
microporous materials - is highly desireable. The IT Characterization
facility houses three Cryo TEMs, including a new Tecnai G2
F30 Cryo TEM, and excellent sample preparation equipment, including
a vitrobot and freeze fracture instrument. The position is
available immediately, and is supported by a grant from the
Nanostructural Materials and Processes program, part of the
Industrial Partnership for Research in Interfacial Materials
Engineering. We offer competitive compensation, exciting research
projects, and a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment
at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
