Research Engineer (Porous Materials)

Job Description • Design, synthesize, and optimize advanced porous materials, with a particular focus on organic porous materials, for gas/vapor adsorption and separation applications. • Develop and implement synthetic strategies to tailor the pore structure, chemical functionality, and host–guest interaction properties of porous adsorbents. • Conduct comprehensive material characterization to elucidate structural, chemical, and morphological properties of the synthesized materials. • Evaluate adsorption and separation performance toward target gas and vapor molecules, and related molecular separation processes. • Analyze experimental results to establish structure–property–performance relationships and provide mechanistic insights for materials and separation process design and optimization. • Prepare technical reports, research summaries, presentation materials, and manuscript-related data to support project progress and dissemination. • Support laboratory operations, including experimental planning, instrument operation, data management, safety compliance, and coordination with project team members. Qualifications • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline. • Experience in organic synthesis and porous material research, including the design and synthesis of organic monomers, targeted molecular structures, and functional porous materials.  • Relevant academic or research experience in chemistry, materials science, porous materials, adsorption, separation, or related fields. • Good understanding of experimental research, material development, and analytical characterization. • Ability to carry out research tasks independently, interpret experimental results, and contribute to project progress. • Self-motivated, responsible, and able to work effectively both independently and in a collaborative research environment.
