The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with deep expertise in electrochemistry. The successful candidate will lead efforts in nanomaterials synthesis and in situ/operando characterization of liquid-solid interfaces during electrochemical conversions.
This position offers the opportunity to leverage CNM's advanced user facilities and instrumentation, publish in high-impact venues, and collaborate closely with scientists across CNM, Argonne, and external partners.
Key Responsibilities
Design, synthesize, and rigorously evaluate well-defined nanomaterials for catalytic and electrochemical applications
Develop, implement, and optimize in situ electrochemical cells to probe liquid-solid interfaces under reaction conditions
Plan and execute in situ/operando experiments using advanced characterization methods, including Near Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (NAP-XPS), electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and related techniques
Conduct electrochemical testing and benchmarking; analyze and interpret complex datasets to elucidate mechanisms and structure-property relationships
Document results and lead preparation of manuscripts, reports, and presentations; present findings at internal meetings and external conference
Collaborate in a multidisciplinary team environment spanning experimentalists, theorists/modelers, and data scientists
Position Requirements
Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a closely related field
Demonstrated expertise in electrochemistry, including materials synthesis, electrochemical characterization, and mechanistic interpretation
Hands-on experience within situ/operando characterization techniques
Strong data analysis skills: familiarity with modeling and/or data-science tools is beneficial but not required
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative research environment
Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
