Emeryville, California, United States LBL Full time
Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow - Ionomer

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Energy Storage & Distributed Resources Division is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will work with a world-class team to understand, characterize, and optimize structure-processing-function relationships of ion-exchange membranes and interfaces.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Characterize structure-processing-property relationships in ion-conducting membranes and thin-films using advanced diagnostics for various energy conversion technologies.
  • Conceive and execute research that is novel and can lead to high impact.
  • Develop in-situ structural and spectroscopic characterization techniques for functional soft matter.
  • Work as part of a team to execute projects related to ion-exchange materials and electrochemical devices.
  • Utilize and advance experimental techniques, such as synchrotron-based X-ray scattering and spectroscopy, to probe chemical, structural, and transport properties of ion-containing materials.
  • Work on meeting milestones and reporting them to DOE.
  • Publish original research in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to scientific publications.
  • Collaborate and work with teams of researchers from diverse backgrounds.
Requirements:
  • PhD in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated experience in structure-property characterization of solid-polymer electrolytes and interfaces, ionomer membranes, and thin-films.
  • Proven experience in electrochemical characterization, membrane-property measurements, and developing experimental setups.
  • Experience with polymer-physics and related characterizations, such as spectroscopy and X-ray scattering or imaging.
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative for tackling cross-disciplinary research problems.
  • Ability to learn rapidly and integrate new fields to demonstrate creative problem-solving skills.
Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience with hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers, cell testing, and diagnostics methods.
  • Knowledge of solid-polymer electrolytes, composite membranes, mechanics, and polymer chemistry.
  • Familiarity with data curation and visualization, statistics, and advanced data analysis.
Notes:
  • This is a full-time, 2-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory job performance and ongoing operational needs.
  • This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes.
  • The monthly salary range for this position is $5,374.00 - $7,316.00, and the starting salary will be determined based on postdoctoral step rates.
