General Description

The research group of Professor Howard Katz is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the broad field of organic, polymeric, and hybrid materials chemistry for electronic applications.  These applications include energy storage, thermoelectrics, chemical and biochemical sensors, flexible conductors, device and circuit design and fabrication, and nonbinary logic. Desirable synthetic chemistry skills include preparation of conjugated molecules, conjugated and nonconjugated main chain polymers, inorganic sol-gel and nanostructured materials, and vapor-deposited films.   Desirable analytical skills include magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopies, electrochemistry, semiconductor and dielectric parameter characterization, thermovoltage measurement, x-ray diffraction, and electron and scanning probe microscopy.  Effective oral and written English communication skills are also desirable.  Initial appointments are for one year and are generally renewable for a second year by mutual agreement.  Professional requirements include a doctoral degree in a relevant field, experience in techniques applicable to assigned projects, and 0-2 years of prior postdoctoral work experience.  Johns Hopkins University is a highly collaborative environment with many highly ranked schools and departments, and the position offers extensive opportunities to collaborate with departments outside the home department and with outside organizations.  Dissemination of research progress through publications in high-quality journals and presentations at international meetings and workshops is supported and encouraged.
