Job Description

Overview

The Trabolsi Research Group at New York University Abu Dhabi invites applications for a research scientist position focused on the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-based adsorbents and membranes for advanced water purification technologies.

Position Overview: The successful candidate will lead innovative and interdisciplinary research focused on optimizing the application of responsive covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for diverse challenges in water treatment, health, and energy. This role will emphasize the directed synthesis and structural design of COFs tailored to achieve high selectivity and efficiency in targeted applications. In particular, the candidate will develop COFs engineered for the selective removal of specific contaminants from water, and will conduct comprehensive mechanistic studies of their molecular interactions with a range of emerging pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and persistent organic compounds. Beyond environmental applications, the project also envisions extending responsive COF platforms to biomedical and energy-related systems, leveraging their tunable porosity, functional diversity, and dynamic responsiveness. The candidate will be expected to integrate advanced characterization techniques, computational modeling, and performance evaluation to drive fundamental understanding as well as practical implementation of these materials.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in water purification while working within a vibrant research community at NYU Abu Dhabi.

Responsibilities

  • Lead interdisciplinary research on COF-based adsorbents and membranes for water purification and related applications.
  • Direct the synthesis and structural design of COFs to achieve high selectivity and efficiency for targeted contaminants.
  • Develop COFs engineered for selective removal of specific pollutants from water and conduct mechanistic studies of interactions with emerging pollutants (pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, persistent organic compounds).
  • Integrate advanced characterization techniques, computational modeling, and performance evaluation to advance fundamental understanding and practical implementation.

Application Instructions

  • For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, degree transcript, statement of research interests, and at least two letters of reference, all in PDF format.
  • If you have any questions, please email Ali Tarbolis - at105@nyu.edu
