The School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) invites applications for the position of Project Officer in Prof Ling's group.

The Project Officer will take on a significant role in developing surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platforms for molecular detection.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop novel plasmonic materials and SERS platforms with high enhancement factors to improve analytical performance
• Synthesize nanoparticles and fabricate SERS chips, followed by performance testing
• Conduct experimental studies on analyte-probe molecule interactions across SERS-active substrates, supported by computational simulations
• Construct machine learning models for qualitative and quantitative analysis of gaseous samples
• Analyze spectra using Python or similar programming tools to support data interpretation
• Culminate in the fabrication of ultrasensitive and specific SERS substrates for molecular identification

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with laboratory research, experimental techniques, and data analysis
• Background in nanoparticle synthesis, SERS platform fabrication, and surface functionalization
• Prior experience working in a plasmonic lab, especially on SERS platform development
• Proficiency in Python or similar software for spectra or data analysis
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
