School	Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area	Rowland Institute at Harvard
Position Description	The Wahab Lab at the Rowland Institute at Harvard, in collaboration with the Mundy Lab at Harvard Physics, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study multiscale (macro to nano) electrocatalysis and operando spectroscopy of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown thin-film oxides. We seek a deep thinker and rigorous scientist with expertise in two or more of the following areas: thin-film fabrication and molecular beam epitaxy, electrocatalysis and electrochemistry, surface characterization with spectroscopy or electron microscopy, operando spectroscopy, electrochemical scan probe microscopy, and machine learning for materials discovery. The successful candidate will contribute to materials synthesis, technique development, electrochemical characterization, and data analysis; lead research projects; mentor undergraduate researchers; publish in peer-reviewed journals; and present at scientific conferences. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position with an annual salary starting at $67,600. The pay offered to the selected candidate depends on factors such as years of experience, training or qualifications, field of scholarship, and accomplishments in the field. Contracts are initially for one year, with the possibility of extension. Start date: Flexible, beginning November 2026 Applications: Reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
