simulation etc.Candidates with PhD degree in Chemical Engineering,
Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering or a closely related field, as
well as strong motivation in both fundamental and applied heterogeneous
catalysis research are encouraged to apply.Candidates with strong interest can contact Dr. Fudong Liu
([email protected]) by sending (1) A cover letter detailing specific
experience; (2) A copy of CV/Resume; and (3) A list of at least three
references (only names, emails and institutions).
Only complete application materials will be considered. The
