National University Of Singapore Hiring! Full Time Research Engineer (Porous Materials) in Central Region (Singapore) - Ricebowl

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.
