What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Scientist: Electrochemical Technologies position at Argonne National Laboratory?
At Argonne National Laboratory, we are committed to finding solutions for critical national priorities. Our Applied Materials Division focuses on bridging the gap between research and real-world applications by collaborating with industry partners, academic institutions, and other national laboratories.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on electrochemical separations and their scale-up. This position involves leading experimental design, execution, analysis, and interpretation, as well as publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at conferences.
Key Aspects:
- Experimental design and execution for electrochemical separation processes.
- Development of electrode materials, membranes, or other components to enhance separation performance.
- Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to scale electrochemical separation technologies.
- Dissemination of research findings through various channels.
Qualifications:
- PhD degree in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field with 0-2 years of experience.
- Demonstrated understanding of chemical separation processes and principles.
- Experience with analytical techniques (e.g., chromatography, spectroscopy, microscopy).
Desirable Skills:
- Hands-on experience with electrochemical separation techniques.
- Familiarity with process simulation and modeling software (e.g., COMSOL, Aspen Plus).
- Knowledge of programming languages (e.g., Python) for automation, data analysis, and control algorithm development.
