The Ginger lab has a potential opening this summer for a highly motivated undergraduate looking for research experience in organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs)! OMIECs are an exciting class of materials with applications ranging from biosensors to neuromorphic devices to aqueous energy storage. This position would last for ~10 weeks and is funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate the basic science properties governing OMIEC behavior in transistor-based devices in aqueous electrolytes, and this project covers the intersection of chemistry, physics, and materials science. Candidates with background in these subjects would be of particular interest, with at least 1-2 years of college-level science and engineering coursework completed. The specific project will depend upon the candidate’s background and career goals, but projects ranging from design and 3D-printing of flow cells for atomic force microscopy to fabrication and measurement of conducting polymer films are possible. Please contact Prof. Ginger (dginger@uw.edu) and cc Dr. Rajiv Giridharagopal (rgiri@uw.edu) for questions.)
We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington with UHV STM experience to join an interdisciplinary team probing interfaces in emerging semiconductors for applications in quantum light and optoelectronics. Interested candidates should send a brief statement of interest, CV, and contact information for three references, with the subject line “STM Postdoc,” to rgiri@uw.edu and cc’ing gingerrc@uw.edu . The University of Washington is an equal opportunity employer.
