(2) Be responsible for assisting the daily management of the group, lab safety, application of grant proposals, writing papers, and mentoring graduate students.

Associate Research Fellow 2:

(1) Applicants who have experiences with the maintenance of NMR spectrometers, mass spectrometers (ESI & MALDI), and other related instruments are preferred;

(2) Be responsible for the management and maintenance of group-owned instruments, training for new instrument users, sample testing, and development of analytical methodologies.

Research Assistant:

(1) Applicants should major in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, polymer chemistry or related disciplines;

(2) Applicants should obtain at least a Bachler’s degree, and those with research experiences are preferred; applicants should also show good communication skills and be willing to collaborate;

(3) Be responsible for ordering research chemicals and lab supplies according to the guidelines in a timely manner while reducing the cost if possible;

(4) Be in charge of the daily management of the group and reimbursement of purchased items;
