Separation Science Group is seeking applications for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct fundamental research in the area of chemical separations.
The successful candidate will work on research to improve chemical separations by studying liquid-liquid phase separation and the impact to separations of atomic-to-mesoscale structuring in liquid phases. The candidate will join a diverse team of experts from across the Lab to address challenging, fundamental questions about chemical separations applied to critical materials, the answers to which will inform a more energy efficient and environmentally aware nation. The team includes staff and postdoctoral fellows with diverse backgrounds in inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry, physics and materials science.
The candidate will have the opportunity to work with the advanced instrumentation available at Argonne National Laboratory, including the use of emerging techniques at the Advanced Photon Source in a group with experience developing these world-leading facilities. As a contributor to a group effort, the candidate will have the opportunity to lead studies, including the preparation of manuscripts and the presentation of their research in a national forum.
