Postdoctoral Appointee – Polymer Membranes
Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to work in the Separations and Bioprocessing Group on developing, designing and characterizing new polymers and membranes for gas and liquid separations. The ideal candidate will have expertise in polymer synthesis and fabrication of hollow fiber membranes and thin-film composite membranes. The position will be focused on laboratory work to advance new types of polymer membranes that can be utilized in gas separation (e.g., biogas upgrading) and liquid separation (e.g., biomass purification). This will require innovative approaches to solve challenges that go beyond the published literature. As such we are looking for a candidate that has shown the ability to create their own experimental apparatus to solve challenges. The position will require flexibility and a willingness to learn new techniques and approaches. Position Requirements Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (typically completed within the last 0-5 years) in chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science. A proven track record demonstrated through journal publications and patent applications. Skilled communication skills at all levels of the organization. Ability to work in a team environment. Skills in installing, modifying and maintaining equipment. Willingness to abide by safety rules. Ability to work with large volumes of hazardous chemicals. Ability to change projects and work on a variety of projects simultaneously. Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork. This position requires an on-site presence at the Argonne campus in Lemont, Illinois, five days per week. Must be able to respond to issues in the laboratory within 1 hour. Preferred Qualifications Knowledge in the following areas and techniques: Polymer synthesis, organic chemistry, characterization of materials, membrane fabrication especially in hollow fiber membranes and composite membranes. The expected hiring range for this position is $70,758.00-$117,925.00. Please note that the pay range information is a general guideline only. As an equal employment opportunity employer, Argonne National Laboratory is committed to a safe and welcoming workplace that fosters collaborative scientific discovery and innovation. Argonne encourages everyone to apply for employment.
