Recruitment information 
Currently funding is available to support thesis work of several graduate students every year. Enthusiasm in scientific involvement is one prerequisite for all applicants. If you are interested in studying in our group, please feel free to send your enquiry with a description of your study and research (if you have some) background to Prof. Yi Xie. She will be happy to answer any of your questions. A lab tour or a meeting with the professor may be considered if it appears necessary. At least two positions for postdoc scientists will also be available every year. Applicants falling into this category need to provide names of at least two references along with a CV addressing the educations you have received and most importantly your Ph.D. research experience.

Applicants with either chemistry or materials science or physics background are suitable to join in our group, but those with hands-on experiences in at least one of the following areas will be considered with priority: (1) inorganic synthesis; (2) microfabrication; (3) monodisperse or mesoporous material synthesis; (4) various characterization techniques for solids, such as XRD, XAFS, TG, DTA, TEM, SEM; (5) electrochemical station; (6) theoretical chemistry (7) lithium ion batteries (8)photocatalysis (9) solar cell.
