What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Uv Vis Spectroscopy position, and why are they important?

To excel in UV-Vis Spectroscopy, you need a background in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related scientific field, with hands-on experience using UV-Vis spectrophotometers. Familiarity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), data analysis software, and regulatory compliance (such as GLP or GMP) is often required. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills are highly valued. These competencies are essential for producing accurate results, maintaining laboratory quality standards, and collaborating effectively with research or quality teams.

What are the typical daily responsibilities for someone working in UV-Vis Spectroscopy?

A typical day in a UV-Vis Spectroscopy role involves preparing samples, calibrating and operating spectrophotometers, analyzing absorbance data, and documenting results in laboratory records or information systems. You may also troubleshoot instrument issues, maintain equipment, and ensure adherence to safety and quality protocols. Collaboration with scientists, lab technicians, or quality control teams is common to support broader research or production objectives. This hands-on, detail-oriented work environment offers opportunities to deepen technical skills and contribute to important analytical projects.

What is a UV-Vis Spectroscopy job?

A UV-Vis Spectroscopy job involves using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry to analyze the absorption of light in a sample. This technique is commonly used in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and material research to determine concentration, purity, and chemical composition. Professionals in this role operate spectrophotometers, interpret spectral data, and ensure accurate experimental procedures. They may work in laboratories, research institutions, or industrial settings. Strong analytical skills and knowledge of optical spectroscopy principles are essential for success in this field.

Job description

Position Details
Title Postdoctoral Fellow - Wentz Lab Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track Department IU Bloomington Chemistry Location Bloomington Position Summary
The Department of Chemistry in the College of Arts + Sciences at Indiana University consists of a well-rounded research community with cutting-edge expertise in a wide variety of modern disciplines including analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, and biochemistry.
Job Summary:

The Wentz Lab at Indiana University is seeking to hire a postdoctoral scholar to develop the synthesis of new main-group heterocycles, macrocycles, and polymers as functional materials. Goals of projects in the Wentz lab are to gain a fundamental understanding of how electronic structure as well as hierarchical structure influences bulk properties in main-group materials. The ideal candidate for this role will have a strong foundation in anaerobic organic and inorganic synthesis as well as experience in the standard spectroscopic techniques (e.g. NMR, IR, Mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy) necessary for characterizing new molecules and polymers.
The Wentz Lab is a collaborative, multidisciplinary laboratory environment, and the successful applicant will play a vital role within our emerging research team. The hired postdoc fellow will gain key leadership skills valuable for a career in academia or industry through mentoring both undergraduate and graduate students. Routine feedback and guidance for postdoctoral fellows will also be provided by Prof. Wentz in group meetings as well as individual meetings to ensure progress towards their future career goals are met.
Responsibilities:

1) Manage own academic research project(s).
2) Achieve research objectives by developing new main-group molecules and polymers and characterizing their properties.
3) Write up new results for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
4) Maintain excellent record keeping through lab notebook documentation of experiments.
5) Maintain equipment and instrumentation in the laboratory.
6) Assist with setting up new instrumentation and other equipment purchased.
7) Mentor undergraduate and graduate students with their projects and teach how to use new instrumentation.
8) Contribute ideas for new research projects.
9) Stay informed of new literature related to academic research project(s).
10) Present new results and systematic literature reviews in weekly group meetings.
Basic Qualifications
Required Qualifications:

Ph.D. in Chemistry by the start of the appointment; strong publication record in synthetic chemistry and photophysics; and excellent leadership and communication skills, both oral and written.
Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with inert atmosphere manipulation of air- and moisture-sensitive chemicals as well as analytical techniques for characterizing the newly synthesized molecules and polymers (NMR, IR, Mass spec, single crystal XRD, GPC, UV-vis, FL...etc.) is essential. The preferred candidate will have a deep understanding of the chemistry of the main-group elements. Experience with DFT or quantum-chemical calculations is also preferred.
Department Contact for Questions
Questions regarding the position or application process can be directed to: Prof. Wentz, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, 800 E. Kirkwood Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47405, wentzke@iu.edu
Additional Qualifications Salary and Rank $55,000 Special Instructions
The initial appointment for this position will be for 12 months. Additional 12-month extension will be available based on performance. A competitive salary along with a benefits package will be offered.
Interested candidates should submit 1) a cover letter, 2) CV, 3) a one-page research plan that reflects the candidates research interest relevant to the job ad, and 4) contact information for three references to http://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/32618. Applications will be reviewed upon receipt.
