The Smart Water Systems Laboratory in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Ewha Womans University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the team.
The successful postdoc will work on projects aimed at advancing ceramic nanofiltration membrane technologies based on nanomaterials for industrial wastewater treatment, particularly focusing on the removal of multivalent ions. Another key project involves the development of a microplastic filter for washing machines to remove micro-/nano-plastics from laundry wastewater, as well as exploring recycling and upcycling technologies for the captured particles. The position is initially for one year, with the possibility of extension based on performance. The start date is negotiable.
The postdoc will be also expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students in the lab, contribute to collaborative research projects, and prepare reports and manuscripts for publication, among other scholarly activities, with the supervision of Dr. Park. They will be encouraged to participate in grant writing, conference presentations, and professional and career development activities. More information about Dr. Park’s lab can be found on the lab website.
Required qualifications:
Must have a Ph.D. degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or closely related fields.
Experience in working on membrane science and engineering. Experience in studying the mitigation of selective ions, micro-/nano-plastics in membrane processes or be familiar with theories of particle separation.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should contact Dr. Park at chp@ewha.ac.kr with “Ewha Postdoc Application” in the subject line. Applicants should submit the following documents as a single PDF:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- One-page statement describing past research and future research goals.
- Names of three references along with their title, affiliation, and email address.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, but priority will be given to those received before June 30, 2025.
