Postdoctoral Fellow in Surface Science: Adhesion and Wetting
Project: Surfaces with liquid and dust repellency

We solicit applications for a postdoctoral position in Professor Himanshu Mishra's research Group (Interfacial Lab) at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia (https://interfaciallab.kaust.edu.sa).

Description: Creating surfaces that repel dust could dramatically improve the energy efficiency of solar cells and reduce cleaning costs for buildings. With our group's expertise in biomimetics, micro and nano textured surfaces, liquid repellency, and interfacial electrification, we are investigating this problem.

Physicists, electrical engineers, mechanical/materials/chemical/aeronautics engineers are encouraged to apply.

Sample publications: Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2020, DOI:10.1002/admi.202001268; Nature Communications, 2018, 9, Article Number: 3606; Scientific Reports, 2020, 10, Article number: 7934; Science Advances, 2020, Vol. 6, No. 13, eaax6192; Nature Communications, 2020, 11, 5285

Expectations:

Experience in micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, such as photolithography, dry etching, e-beam lithography, two-photon polymerization, III-D printing, SLIPS fabrication, etc.

Basic knowledge of capillarity, fluid dynamics, and heat & mass transfer. Knowledge of CFD and/or FEM software is a plus

We expect the individual to be curiosity-driven, dedicated, and a critical thinker.
