Postdocs

Candidates should have a PhD by the postdoctoral appointment start-date and provide evidence of scientific excellence. We seek postdoctoral candidates from the fields of chemical engineering, chemistry, and materials science. Prospective postdoctoral researchers are strongly encouraged to identify potential extramural postdoctoral funding, and work with Professor Corson to submit a research proposal. Preference will be given to candidates that have secured extramural funding.

Postdoc Candidates

Email your CV, contact information of three individuals who can provide a letter of reference, and a brief one-paragraph summary of the area of research you wish to undertake in our group.
