Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's (LBNL) Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division (EAEI) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our team. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will be part of a dynamic team pioneering novel material-based energy solutions and direct air capture techniques.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate with the PI and other researchers to design and set up various RF/microwave-based material characterization and testing systems.
  • Develop finite element models to investigate material response and thermal propagation under RF/microwave environment and for H2 storage system.
  • Build models for non-steady state heat/cooling processes and thermal management.
  • Work in a multidisciplinary team environment, including backgrounds in biology, chemistry, earth sciences, statistics, physics, energy technologies, materials science, engineering, and computer science.
  • Analyze and summarize data and present findings at internal lab meetings and scientific conferences.
  • Publish in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to scientific research papers and reports.
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, or related field.
  • Strong knowledge of RF/microwave theory and thermodynamics.
  • Hands-on experience with RF/microwave equipment (e.g. VNA, AWG, oscilloscope, signal generator, spectrum analyzer, horn antenna) for high-power applications (up to kW-scale).
  • Strong knowledge of finite element modeling tools (e.g. HFSS, COMSOL, CST).
  • Prior experience designing and testing RF/microwave cavities, antennas, and impedance matching devices is a plus.
  • Proficiency with scientific programming (e.g. Python, Matlab).
  • Evidence of ability to publish results in relevant journals.
  • An ability to work in an integrated diverse team environment.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Keen interest in solving science and engineering challenges.
Desired Qualifications:
  • Broader experience designing commercial/industrial-scale RF/microwave systems is a plus.
  • Experience in configuring/testing/modifying experimental setup to achieve research goal is a plus.
  • Broader experience working with H2 systems is a plus.
  • Prior experience developing antennas, phased arrays, and cavities.
  • Prior experience working on energy systems, decarbonization, and carbon dioxide removal.
  • Keen interest in multi-disciplinary research to influence policy and technology development.
How to Apply:

Please submit your application materials, including a cover letter and curriculum vitae (CV) or resume, by August 1, 2024. We look forward to receiving your application.
