A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as
one of the nation's top public universities. Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.
One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.University employees can choose from a wide range of
professional training opportunities for career growth, skill development and lifelong learning and enjoy
exclusive perks for numerous retail, restaurant and performing arts discounts, savings on local child care centers and special rates on select campus events. UNC-Chapel Hill offers full-time employees a
comprehensive benefits package, paid leave, and a variety of health, life and retirement plans and additional programs that support a healthy work/life balance.
Launched in 2013, the Department of Applied Physical Sciences (APS) is the first new science department in the College of Arts and Sciences in nearly 40 years. Including the Chapel Hill Analytical and Nanofabrication Laboratory (CHANL) and the graduate program in material sciences, Applied Physical Sciences has united numerous scientific entities on campus to further its mission of finding interdisciplinary solutions to real-world problems. Its newest endeavor, BeAM (Be A Maker), is a university-wide initiative that incorporates Making into research, education, and entrepreneurship. BeAM is comprised of several spaces, including a makerspace in Hanes Art Center, Carmichael Residence Hall, and a 3,400 square foot Makerspace in Murray Hall, all of which serve the entire UNC community.
The Research Associate in Professor Jinsong Huang's group in the Department of Applied Physical Sciences at UNC Chapel Hill is part of a dynamic research group with focus on perovskite materials and devices. The Huang group has state of the art facility with recently renovated labs, including four research rooms for material synthesis, material characterization, device fabrication, scaling up, optical and electronic measurements. The Huang group provides support for personal career development for a win-win scenario. The candidate will work on improving the performance of perovskite solar cells by understanding the materials, interfaces and device fabrication. Although device performance is the goal of the research in many projects, fundamental understanding is the soul of this group.
Relevant post-Baccalaureate degree required (or foreign degree equivalent); for candidates demonstrating comparable independent research productivity, will accept a relevant Bachelor's degree (or foreign degree equivalent) and 3 or more years of relevant experience in substitution. May require terminal degree and licensure.
The candidate is expected to have evidence of academic excellence in inorganic chemistry, material science engineering, Perovskite Solar Cell, or solid-state physics.
-Hands-on experience working with machine design, automation, perovskite solar cells, material synthesis, material characterization, devise fabrication, scaling up, optical and electronic measurements.
-The candidate is expected to have evidence of academic excellence in one of the following fields of machine automation, inorganic chemistry, material science / engineering, or solid-state physics, or related field.
