Description

Position Summary

The Department of Chemistry in the College of Arts + Sciences at Indiana University, consists of a well-rounded research community with cutting-edge expertise in a wide variety of modern disciplines including analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, and biochemistry.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary research team at Indiana University, Bloomington. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research focused on the development of novel organic optoelectronic materials with tailored excited-state dynamics for advanced sensing and optoelectronic applications. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative environment with access to world-class facilities and to engage in high-impact research at the interface of chemistry, physics, and materials science.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Synthesize and characterize organic semiconductors for optoelectronic applications.
  • Perform steady-state spectroscopy (absorption and emission characterization).
  • Participate in time-resolved spectroscopy experiments (e.g., TCSPC and transient absorption).
  • Collaborate closely with team members and external partners to design and interpret experiments.
  • Leverage state-of-the-art facilities, including a premier light microscopy center, for advanced optical characterization.

What We Offer:

  • An opportunity to work on groundbreaking research with state-of-the-art instrumentation and resources.
  • A collaborative research environment with internal and external partnerships.
  • Career development and mentorship opportunities in an exciting, rapidly evolving field.

The initial appointment for this position will be for 12 months. Additional 12-month extension will be available based on performance. A competitive salary along with a benefits package will be offered.



Basic Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
  • Strong background in organic semiconductor synthesis and multi-step synthetic techniques.
  • Proficiency in steady-state and/or time-resolved spectroscopy is highly desirable.
  • An interdisciplinary mindset and eagerness to expand skills across chemistry, spectroscopy, and materials science.



Salary and Rank

$53,000/annually or commensurate with experience
