Responsibilities
Conduct research on the distribution and behavior of critical elements at mineral-water interfaces using synchrotron scattering and imaging. Analyze complex datasets and communicate findings through peer-reviewed publications and scientific conferences.
Requirements
Requires a PhD in chemistry, geochemistry, chemical engineering, physics, or materials science completed within the last 5 years. Candidates must have strong experience with synchrotron techniques and material characterization.
Full job description
The Interfacial Processes Group in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering (CSE) Division at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join a Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project. This research focuses on understanding how critical elements are distributed at mineral-water interfaces, with the goal of revealing the fundamental chemical and structural behavior of these strategically important elements in geological materials.
We are looking for a creative and driven experimental scientist with experience in synchrotron scattering and imaging, ideally with the ability to carry out advanced measurements at the Advanced Photon Source. Experience within situ characterization and experimental apparatus development is especially valued. In this role, you will also contribute to material preparation and characterization using laboratory-based analytical tools, including electronmicroscopy and atomic force microscopy.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of interfacial science, geochemistry, and advanced characterization in a highly collaborative research environment. The successful candidate will be expected to analyze and interpret experimental data and share research findings through scientificconferences and peer-reviewed publications.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct research on the distribution and behavior of critical elements at mineral-water interfaces
Perform extensive synchrotron scattering and imaging experiments at the Advanced Photon Source
Develop and apply in situ characterization approaches and, where appropriate, experimental apparatus
Prepare and characterize materials using laboratory-based analytical techniques
Analyze and interpret complex, multimodal experimental datasets
Communicate research results through presentations, reports, and peer-reviewed journal articles
Collaborate effectively with researchers across disciplines and contribute to multiple related projects as needed
Position Requirements
Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of chemistry, geochemistry, chemical engineering, physics, materials science, or a closely related field
Strong experience with synchrotron techniques and analysis of multimodal datasets
Experience in material synthesis and characterization
Demonstrated knowledge of general analytical methods and experimental practices
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
A creative, proactive, and thoughtful approach to scientific problem solving
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment
Flexibility to contribute across multiple projects and research applications
Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
Preferred Background
Experience in one or more of the following areas will help candidates succeed in this role:
Critical elements and materials
Electrical double layer theory and applications
Solid-liquid phase transitions and energetics
Mineral processing and separations
In situ characterization and apparatus development
Work Location
This position requires an on-site presence five days per week at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois.
