We have multiple funded PhD and Masters positions available in the Amini Lab in the Department of Materials Engineering at the University of British Columbia. The project focuses on development of electrochemical carbon capture and lithium extraction systems.
If you are interested, please send your CV, transcripts and a cover letter, explaining your motivation, to kiana.amini@ubc.ca with the subject “PhD or Masters applicant:[your name]”. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview.
I have two exciting funded #postdoctoral #positions available in my lab. If you have the relevant background and expertise, please reach out to me at kiana.amini@ubc.ca with the subject line “Postdoctoral Application – [Your Name]”.
Please include your CV and a brief description of your relevant experience. I will reach out to candidates whose background is a good fit for the positions.
Postdoctoral Fellow 1 : Redox-Active Materials
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in the design, synthesis, and functionalization of redox-active materials for electrochemical energy storage. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in materials chemistry and the synthesis of redox-active materials (synthetic chemist with expertise in organic and/or inorganic/coordination chemistry, with experience in redox-active molecules and materials).
Postdoctoral Fellow 2 : Membrane and Polymer Materials
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in polymer chemistry, membrane synthesis, functionalization, and characterization for electrochemical energy storage. Experience with ion-exchange membranes and electrochemical membrane applications is needed.
The successful applicants will also have the opportunity to collaborate with experts in AI-enabled materials discovery as part of the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have sent an email regarding joining your lab but have received no response. What does this mean?
A: Firstly, thank you for expressing your interest in joining the lab. Please be assured that I read all emails and give them a thorough assessment. However, due to the large volume of emails received it is impossible to respond to each one regarding applications. If you haven’t received a response within a week, please understand that I may have moved on with other applications that better fit the position.

Q: Should I send reminders about my application?
A: Please do not send reminders. I read each and every email thoroughly, so reminders are not needed.
Q: What should I include in my email when requesting to join your lab?
A: Please attach your CV and provide an explanation in the email about why you are interested in this lab and research. I strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with the overall idea of our research and tailor the email accordingly. It is best to avoid sending template emails and generic messages.
