Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Assistant Position in Mechanical Energy Harvesting Devices & Systems

The Nano-Energy and Smart System Laboratory led by Prof. Yunlong Zi in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong seeks to recruit a Postdoctoral Fellow (or Research Assistant, however the priority will be given to postdoc candidates) with a strong background in energy harvesting devices & system. This position can start from July 1st, 2018 and will be for two years (tentatively), depending on the funding situation and mutual agreement.

As a successful candidate you will work on an exciting cross-disciplinary project that mainly focuses on the high-performance triboelectric nanogenerators and systems. You will engage in the fundamental research, engineering, and development of this emerging technology, and explore related applications. Disciplines involved include applied physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and materials science. As a postdoc, you will be encouraged to develop new research directions, not limited to the group’s current research focus. Applications are welcomed from highly-motivated, innovative and energetic individuals to join our team.

Primary Job Responsibilities:
•        Conduct research with journal papers and/or patents as outcomes
•        Lead a research direction
•        Be involved in proposal writings for the group

Preferred Qualifications and Expectations:
•        Ph.D. in physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry or other related disciplines (for Research Assistant: Bachelor or Master degrees in related disciplines)
•        Proven track record of first author publications and research experience
•        Experience in energy harvesting, electronic devices, applied physics, dielectric materials, or other research field as long as you believe it is related
•        A good team-worker who can also work independently when necessary
•        A creative, motivated and innovative individual who seeks to forward the project
•        Excellent communication and written skills, with the drive to publish first author papers

To apply:
Submit to Prof. Yunlong Zi (yunlongzi@mae.cuhk.edu.hk) the following documents and information to be considered for this position:
1) Cover letter stating your relevant experience, training, expertise and motivation for this position,
2) CV with qualifications and publication list
3) Names and contact information for 3 professional references.

About me:
Dr. Yunlong Zi received his Ph.D. in Physics from Purdue University in 2014; his B.Eng. in Materials Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2009. Dr. Zi worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2014-2017. (Supervisor: Prof. Zhong Lin Wang, Hightower Chair and Regents’ Professor, Foreign Academician of CAS) Dr. Zi joined the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor in November 2017. His current research interests focus on high-efficiency mechanical energy harvesting mainly through triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), TENG triggered high-voltage applications, and self-powered smart systems. As the 1st author, his research has been published in top-notch journals, including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Nano Energy, and etc. He was honored as the winner of MRS Postdoctoral Award by Materials Research Society in 2017, as the first recipient from Georgia Tech; and one of “5 students who are transformation makers” by Purdue University in 2013, as highlighted in Purdue homepage.
