Role details

Applications are solicited for one individual to be appointed as a postdoctoral associate under the supervision of Professor Lee. The laboratory is involved in the fabrication, characterization and testing of molecular crystalline films for optoelectronics and chiroptoelectronics. Successful applicants will be highly motivated with an interest in working in the areas of materials chemistry. The ideal candidate will have research experience in the development of new approaches to guide small molecule crystallization and characterize their properties. Experience in optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, device fabrication and testing, and polarimetry is essential.

Experience mentoring students is highly desirable. The terms of employment, which would be a year, with a possibility of renewal, include a competitive salary and other benefits. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, this position's annual base salary range is $62,500.00 – $65,664. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

We welcome applications from international candidates; however, please note that NYU is not an E-Verify employer and therefore unable to support STEM OPT extensions. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry and no more than 2 years of postdoctoral training.
