applications, quantum devices, energy technologies, and environmental monitoring.

Competitive applicants will have a strong research record, research plans aligned with areas of
joint UGA and SRNL interest, demonstrate creativity in their research plans, and exhibit a
commitment to teaching organic, inorganic, or materials chemistry at the graduate and
undergraduate levels. A Ph.D. in chemistry or related field is required at time of appointment; 1
to 2 years of postdoctoral experience is highly desirable. Candidates should submit a cover letter
of interest with a brief summary of research accomplishments, curriculum vitae, and concise
