Research Opportunities at Argonne National Laboratory

The Chemical Sciences & Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Heavy Element and Separation Science Group.

The successful candidate will contribute to research projects accelerating the clean up and remediation of the Hanford Site waste tanks.

This position will focus on the chemistry of plutonium oxide clusters, nanoparticles, and colloids, studying their surface chemistry and reactivity in aqueous systems to achieve chemical separations.

The candidate will be responsible for the synthesis and characterization of plutonium oxide nanoparticles using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, synchrotron based X-ray spectroscopy and scattering methods, solid-state and solution-state spectroscopic techniques.

Additional characterization tools, such as FT-IR, Raman, potentiometry, and dynamic light scattering, will be used to analyze the nanoparticles' properties.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group with expertise in inorganic and physical chemistry, separation science, and condensed matter physics.

The candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with cutting-edge programs in machine learning and synchrotron science.

Requirements include a Ph.D. in chemistry, geochemistry, or physics, and excellent oral and written communication skills.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing experimental plans, performing experiments, analyzing data, and preparing manuscripts for publication.

Demonstrated motivation toward creative research, specific expertise in inorganic chemistry, aqueous solution chemistry, colloid chemistry, environmental chemistry, or analytical chemistry, and considerable experience in materials characterization techniques are required.
