Zang Group

JOIN US@Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS)!

Our group started from Oct. 2019. We probe electronic properties and study chemistry at molecular level. We have opennings for PhD, postdoc and research assisstant positions. Additional fellowship for both PhD and postdoc positions from CAS is available for international applicants!

If you are interested in these opportunities, please send your CV to zangyaping@iccas.ac.cn
