Argonne National Laboratory
Postdoctoral Appointee - Surface Organometallic Catalysis
Argonne National Laboratory, Posen, Illinois, United States, 60469
Postdoctoral Appointee Position
We invite you to apply for a Postdoctoral Appointee position in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division (CSE) at Argonne National Laboratory. This position focuses on advancing research in surface organometallic catalysis with a focus on understanding metal-surface stereoelectronic communication. In this role you will: Conduct research as part of a multidisciplinary team in supported organometallic / inorganic heterogeneous catalysis Design, synthesize, and characterize metal-ligand complexes supported on metal oxide and/or non-traditional support materials Investigate the catalytic activity of these materials and how electronic metal-support interactions in non-traditional catalyst materials can be leveraged to modulate catalytic activity and selectivity, including studies towards understanding reaction mechanisms through reaction kinetics analysis and other physical organic and inorganic techniques Perform detailed in situ / operando studies of catalysts using X-ray Absorption and Emission Spectroscopies, as well as other advanced spectroscopic techniques Position Requirements Desired Qualifications Knowledge of and experimental expertise in synthesis and characterization of highly air-sensitive catalyst materials Experience in the synthesis and testing of heterogeneous catalysts Understanding of kinetics and thermodynamics as applied to catalysis Experience with spectroscopy applied to catalysis, especially XAS and other X-ray spectroscopy techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy, as well as experience with high resolution STEM imaging Excellent written and oral communication skills Requirements: Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in the field of organic, organometallic, or inorganic chemistry, or a related field Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork Job Family
