School of Molecular Sciences (SMS) and Navrotsky Eyring Center for Materials of the
Universe (MotU), Arizona State University.

We invite applications for one or more postdoctoral research scholars to pursue
research in materials science, geochemistry, and high pressure science, with focus on
using high temperature reaction calorimetry to measure thermochemical properties of
materials and linking the thermodynamics to structural characteristics. Studied materials
include molten chloride/fluoride salts for nuclear energy applications, refractory
ceramics inspired by natural processes, and emerging functional materials. Working in
Profs. Alexandra Navrotsky’s and Hongwu Xu’s research groups, the postdoc(s) will
participate in highly interdisciplinary, multi-institutional, and collaborative projects.

The initial appointment is made on a fiscal year (12-month), full-time basis with
subsequent annual renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and availability of
resources. This position is benefits-eligible.
Qualifications

• Ph.D. in chemistry, mineralogy/geochemistry, materials science, or related fields is
  required.
• Multidisciplinary background is preferred.
• Previous experience with thermodynamics, crystallography, and high pressure
  techniques is desirable.
  To apply, send cover letter, CV, and contact information of 3 references to
