Savannah River National Laboratory
Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Research Associate: Spectroscopic Monitoring
Savannah River National Laboratory, Aiken, South Carolina, United States, 29805
Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Research Associate: Spectroscopic Monitoring and Modeling
The Laboratory Director’s Postdoctoral Research Associate will contribute to SRNL’s environmental protection mission by applying science and engineering to accelerate closure and reduce risk at active cleanup sites for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM). The postdoc will be responsible for performing and documenting laboratory applied science experimentation in the field of radioactive and hazardous material processing, stabilization, and characterization to enable nuclear materials processing, site cleanup, and waste disposition across the DOE complex. The postdoc will perform laboratory testing and data analysis using in situ spectroscopic sensors for process monitoring in support of DOE-EM directives. Work scope will include collection of spectra and materials characterization data from multicomponent slurries during crystallization for the purpose of developing novel crystallization models via machine learning approaches. Responsibilities The Postdoctoral Research Associate positions are fixed term assignments within the company and benefits eligible. Postdoctoral researchers are provided an exciting learning environment to develop into the next generation of professional scientists and engineers, explore the unknown, and make impactful discoveries. Successful candidates will:
Have experience with use of real-time measurements and development of techniques for analysis of resulting spectra Think critically, analyze data, and integrate these skills into effective experimental design, execution, and reporting. Have the ability to scope technical tasks and develop creative solutions. Work independently but also be able to develop partnerships with internal team members of different backgrounds. Effectively communicate (verbal & written) technical results. Demonstrate scientific productivity through peer-reviewed publications. Work safely with particular attention to quality. Comply with all policies and standards. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications
PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field + 0-1 years of experience Individuals must have completed all requirements for their PhD by the start of employment Ability to obtain and maintain appropriate level government security clearance. Preferred Qualifications Experience with use of real-time spectroscopic measurements Experience with spectral interpretation/analysis and model development Experience with crystallization in a process environment About Us Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is a multi-program laboratory applying state of the art science and practical, high-value, cost-effective solutions to complex technical problems to protect the nation. Located at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken SC, the laboratory develops and deploys innovative technologies to address some of the nation’s environmental, energy, and national security challenges. SRNL offers a competitive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision options, short- and long-term disability, life insurance, and a savings and investment plan. SRNL is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
