I recently graduated with my PhD in Analytical Chemistry. During my PhD, I researched surface modification and electrochemistry for CO₂ reduction, gaining hands-on experience with PVD, XPS, etc. Although I recently graduated, I have been applying since October, albeit unsuccessfully. I’m particularly interested in jobs where I can continue to use my surface chemistry and electrochemistry background, ideally in surface, materials, or related R&D roles. I appreciate any advice or referrals.
