Research Associate (Materials Science/Materials Chemistry/Chemical Engineering)

The Asian School of the Environment (ASE) is an interdisciplinary school that will be a world leader in environmental research focused on Asian environmental challenges. The ASE integrates earth and environmental life science, ecology, engineering and technology, human ecology, humanities, and the social sciences to address key issues of the environment and sustainability.

We are currently recruiting one Research Associate who will join the laboratory of Professor Simon Redfern at the Asian School of the Environment, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), to work closely with the lead PI to build the experimental programme, maintain instruments and coordinate with the international community.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop laboratory experiments to synthesise and study materials at extreme temperatures, pressure and under controlled chemical environments
• Prepare literature surveys to outline research / technology development in the field
• Employ and develop experimental methods using high-temperature furnaces, one atmosphere gas-mixing furnaces, diamond anvil cells as well as piston cylinder apparatus
• Characterisation and analysis methods will include FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, EPMA, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and XAS, and allied techniques, using both in-house and international synchrotron and neutron sources
• Participate in research program, including research experiments and data collection
• Prepare reports and documentations for the research programs, and support data analysis
• Assist in duties related to lab safety, documentation, training of student researchers and outreach
