Research Scientist position at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis

Opening for a career-track, Research Scientist position at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP). This is a Solar Fuels Innovation Hub recently funded by the Department of Energy with physical location at the sites of the major partners, Caltech (South) and LBNL (North).

The position will assume significant responsibility for the synthetic and catalyst evaluation efforts in the Molecular Catalysis Project located at the JCAP North Site. Anticipated activities involve novel synthetic approaches, including those based on molecular design and precursor chemistry, for targeting novel catalytic structures such as inorganic clusters, nanostructures, and stabilized, surface-bound catalytic centers. Significant effort will also involve electrochemical studies for the evaluation of new catalysts, and for characterizations of active catalytic centers and catalytic mechanisms.

The position offers a unique opportunity for a stellar early career scientist to assume a key role at the inception of the Lab and the JCAP research effort towards solar-to-fuels technologies.

Classification will be at the Research Scientist or Staff Scientist/Career-track or Career level. If you are aware of any suitable candidates for this position, please encourage them to visit the LBNL employment page or view the position description at this web address:
