Argonne National Laboratory
Postdoctoral Appointee Multiphysics Modeling of Nuclear/Chemical Systems
Argonne National Laboratory, Posen, Illinois, United States, 60469
Postdoctoral Appointee
The Postdoctoral Appointee will be part of an R&D group conducting use-inspired research supporting the development of process technologies for next-generation nuclear/chemical/electrochemical applications. With guidance, the appointee will: Develop advanced multiscale, multiphysics simulation tools relevant to the modeling of processes involving combined nuclear, chemical, and electrochemical phenomena
Create new reduced-order models and submodels related to fluid flow, heat transfer, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry in multiphase systems
Use modeling tools such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to develop and optimize new processes and equipment designs using high-performance computing
Analyze data, prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed publications, prepare technical reports for sponsors, and 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 This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a 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.
To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship and will be required to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.
Skill in modeling, processing, and analyzing computational results to inform accompanying experimental efforts.
Skill in the use of modern collaborative coding practices.
Demonstrated experience with the application of multiphysics modeling to model complex physical phenomena.
Strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.
Ability to model Argonne's Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
