Mission:
The mission of the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing (AM2) Lab is to integrate novel designs, data science and sensors into emerging manufacturing processes for high-performance multifunctional materials and systems. The current research activities include nanomaterials synthesis/functionalization, machine learning, and advanced manufacturing for both energy and biomedical applications.
1 Post-doc Position Available:
1 post-doctoral researcher position is available in our AM2 Lab starting from Summer 2025 or later. The position is full-time and fixed-term (duration: 1-3 years, with possible extension) with 12-month stipend and health insurance.
The successful candidate for this position is anticipated to demonstrate a strong background in materials science & engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and/or environmental engineering. A PhD’s degree in engineering from an accredited institution is desired. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled post-doc to be capable of working in an interdisciplinary research team in a collaborative environment. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Jenny Qiu at jennyqiu@tamu.edu with one single PDF document including (1) a cover letter, (2) a detailed Resume/CV (highlighting your academic achievements and research experience), and (3) a selection of representative journal publications (up to 3).
For this position the applicant should have:
- Background in a relevant area such as inorganic & organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, metallurgy & hydrometallurgy, nanomaterials, materials synthesis/characterization, and so on;
- Experience with relevant methods (e.g., NMR, FTIR, XPS, TGA, SEM, TEM, ICP-MS and other material characterization techniques, CV, EIS, LSV, and/or other electrochemical techniques);
- Strong motivation and skills to work independently on fabrication, testing, and optimization of energy/healthcare devices;
- Experience preparing research reports, publishing high-impact papers, and presenting research at conferences;
- Excellent spoken and written English language skills and problem-solving skills;
2 PhD Positions Available:
The Advanced Materials & Manufacturing (AM2) Lab invites applications for 2 fully funded MEEN PhD student positions starting from Fall 2025 or later. Our research focuses on advanced manufacturing, bio/nanomaterials, soft robotics, functional materials, energy and healthcare devices. The chosen PhD students will work as full-time Graduate Assistant Researchers at JCAIN 403 Lab. The PhD students are expected to work on manufacturing-related research projects and publish scientific articles towards their PhD degree. If interested, please contact Dr. Qiu at Jennyqiu@tamu.edu and send your CV/resume (including education background, publication list, other relevant professional skills, GRE and TOEFL/IELTS scores if applicable) and a statement of purpose for research.
