Open PhD Positions (MSE@University of Utah)

Prof. Ling Zang's lab at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Utah, seeks Ph.D. graduate students with research interests in the emerging fields of organic nanomaterials and optoelectronics. The current research projects at the Zang's lab are highly interdisciplinary, breaking down the traditional boundary between chemistry, materials science and physics.

Students involved will be exposed to a variety of cross-discipline areas in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and be trained with a broad range of instrum entations in nanoscale imaging and fabrication. More importantly, they will have the opportunity to work as part of a coherent team in collaboration with different groups from different campuses throughout the US, allowing them to familiarize with teamwork in research, and to be exposed to a range of in
tellectual and scientific methods to solve scientific problems. Students will also be encouraged to attend national or international conferences (e.g. ACS meetings) to discuss and exchange the research with peer scientists working in the related areas.

Students interested in pursuing research in the following fields or areas are encouraged to apply:

1. molecular design, synthesis, characterization and engineering.

2. organic electronics and optoelectronics.

3. single molecule imaging/probing.

4. nanoscale imaging and fabrication using AFM, STM and confocal microscopy.


5. self-assembly of organic molecules into functional nanostructures and application in nanodevices, e.g., solar cells, FETs.

6. organic fluorescence or colorimetric sensors.

Applicants should submit (via Email) a CV and list of references to:
