Lemont, United States Argonne National Laboratory Full time

The Heavy Element and Separation Science Group in the Chemical Sciences & Engineering Division of Argonne National Laboratory solicits applicants to fill a postdoctoral position.

This position will contribute to research accelerating the clean up and remediation of the Hanford Site waste tanks, among the most challenging environmental remediation projects in the United States. 

The research will explore the chemistry of plutonium oxide clusters, nanoparticles, and colloids; studying their surface chemistry and reactivity in aqueous systems with the goal of tuning their reactivity to achieve chemical separations.

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

A knowledge of other characterization tools including FT-IR, Raman, potentiometry, and dynamic light scattering would be an asset.

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

Opportunities will be provided to participate and collaborate with cutting edge programs in machine learning and synchrotron science. 

The applicant is expected to hold a Ph.D. with background expertise in chemistry, geochemistry, or physics together with excellent oral and written communication skills.

The successful candidate will be responsible for working independently and as part of a team, developing experimental plans, performing experiments, analyzing data, and safety documentation. 

Additionally, the successful candidate will be responsible for the preparation of manuscripts for open-literature, peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings based on their research findings.

Position Requirements

Demonstrated strong motivation toward creative research. 

Specific expertise in one or more of the following: inorganic chemistry, aqueous solution chemistry, colloid chemistry, environmental chemistry, or analytical chemistry. 

Demonstrated oral and written communication skills as defined by oral presentations at scientific meetings and publications in peer-review, archival, and scientific journals. 

Considerable experience and general knowledge in inorganic/physical chemistry. Demonstrated experience in one or more materials characterization techniques such as IR, Raman, optical spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, X-ray scattering. 

This position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry or a related field.
