Boettcher Lab

The Electrochemistry and Materials Science Lab team's goal is to do world-leading and world-changing research while providing an inclusive educational environment that launches meaningful and rewarding careers. Our work spans engineering, chemistry, materials science and more.

2024 Postdoctoral Fellow Search for Joint UC Berkeley and Berkeley National Lab positions. 

The Boettcher lab at University of Oregon(link is external) transitioned to UC Berkeley and LBNL in January 2024. There is much information on our work still on the Lab's University of Oregon website(link is external).

Prof. Boettcher’s UC email is boettcher@berkeley.edu(link sends e-mail) and his LBNL email is sboettcher@lbl.gov(link sends e-mail). His office is Gilman 212.  Prof. Boettcher recieves much email. If you email him and do not hear back in three days, and it is important, send a reminder!

Prof. Boettcher was the founding Director of the Oregon Center for Electrochemistry(link is external) and the accelerated MS program in Electrochemical Science and Technology/Engineering(link is external)We are builiding the Electrochemistry Academy at UC Berkeley through CESET: https://electrochemistry.berkeley.edu

Boettcher also leads the NSF CCI, The Center for Interfacial Ionics(link is external), launched in Fall 2022, along with partners across the US.

Interest in postdoctoral, PhD, visiting scholar, or undergraduate research opportunities should be communicated to the UC email and in consideration for appointments at UCB or LBNL. Because Prof. Boettcher recieves a large volume of requests and inquiries, he may not respond to each one.
