Job Summary

Leidos is seeking an early career Electrochemical Scientist to join our research support team in Pittsburgh, PA, supporting the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), a U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) national laboratory. This is an opportunity to conduct research with world-class scientists and engineers using state-of-the-art equipment, contributing to new areas of applied research to enhance the nation's energy security and protect the environment for future generations.

About the Role

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory is a multi-disciplinary, scientific and technical-oriented national laboratory. NETL produces technological solutions for America's energy challenges to support home-grown energy initiatives, stimulate a growing economy, and improve the health, safety, and security of all Americans. Highly skilled professionals at three NETL research sites – Albany, OR, Morgantown, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA – conduct a broad range of research activities that support DOE's mission to advance the national, economic, and energy security of the United States.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform collaborative experimental research with the CO2 Conversion team at NETL Pittsburgh to:
    • Perform full-cell electrochemical experiments to evaluate and optimize the efficiency of various electrodes and reaction conditions in a catalytic CO2 reduction electrolyzer.
    • Prepare catalyst materials and electrode assemblies.
    • Perform related materials characterization to support the efforts above.
  • Collaborate with the principal investigator (PI), other researchers, engineering and support staff to accomplish project-related tasks.
  • Disseminate research results through presentations in relevant scientific forums, and/or publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Requirements
  • A PhD degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science or related fields of study
  • 2+ years prior experience performing electrochemical experiments in a laboratory or industrial research setting. Relevant PhD research work counts against this requirement.
  • Must be able to meet the requirement for gaining access to work on the NETL campus.
  • A proven track record of publication in reputable peer-reviewed journals, as well as experience in presenting results at relevant scientific forums.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for technical and general audiences.
  • Detail oriented and safety-minded in performing work in a laboratory.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Independent researcher with experience of managing multiple research projects in a laboratory setting.
  • Can demonstrate a track record of close collaboration with multiple researchers, internally or externally, demonstrating strong interpersonal skills and serving as technical resource within a research group.
  • Experience in building lab-scale gas and fluid delivery systems for electrochemical full cells, including selecting appropriate process instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
  • Experience in relevant complementary materials characterization and product quantification techniques e.g. SEM, XRD, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and gas and liquid chromatography.
  • Experience in materials synthesis and catalyst preparation.
  • Experience in fabrication techniques for full cell components, e.g. gas diffusion electrodes and membrane separators.
