美国阿贡国家实验室2023年招聘博士后职位（化学工程）

美国阿贡国家实验室（Argonne National Laboratory，简称ANL）是美国政府最早建立的国家实验室，也是美国最大的科学与工程研究实验室之一――在美国中西部为最大。阿贡前身是芝加哥大学的冶金实验室 (Metallurgical Lab)，现在隶属于美国能源部和芝加哥大学。诺贝尔物理学奖得主费米于1942年在此领导小组建立了人类第一台可控核反应堆（芝加哥一号堆，Chicago Pile-1)，完成了曼哈顿计划的重要一环，并且使人类从此迈入原子能时代。

Postdoctoral Researcher - Chemical Engineering

Argonne National Laboratory

Job Description

Argonne National Laboratory’s Chemical & Fuel Cycle Technologies division is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to be part of our multidisciplinary team conducting exciting R&D work for the development of molten salt technologies for nuclear, electrometallurgy, and chemical processing applications.

With guidance, the Appointee will:

・Develop new equipment and operational approaches for molten salt chemical and electrochemical processes that enable material recovery and/or purification.

・Develop molten salt monitoring and control technologies to enable operations of large-scale molten salt systems.

・Perform experiments to understand and quantify reaction pathways and kinetics for molten salt chemical systems.

・Analyze data, prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed publications, attend and make presentations at scientific meetings.

・Communicate effectively with supervisors, peers, and Laboratory management through status updates, technical research reports, project presentations, and other regular channels.

Position Requirements

・Knowledge of general principles of chemistry and chemical technology is required.

・Skill in devising and performing experiments to acquire data.

・Experience in using and maintaining research equipment.

・Successful in compiling, evaluating, and reporting test results.

・Clear ability to present ideas, results and reports is required.

・Strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.

・Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

・To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.

・This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, nuclear engineering, or related field at the PhD degree level with zero to three years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience.

Preferred qualifications include:

・Experience in electrochemistry or electrochemical engineering is desired, but not mandatory.

・Experience with high-temperature molten salt systems, actinide chemistry, or materials science is desired, but not mandatory.
