Analysis of Ore Materials Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for Critical Minerals Processing National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in United States

Two fully funded PhD positions are available in the Lowell Program at the University of Arizona for research on critical minerals in the southwestern USA. The projects are flexible and may combine field work and laboratory work , with topics spanning conventional and unconventional resources associated with polymetallic base-metal , sediment-hosted U-V-Cu , IOCG (sensu lato), granite-related lithophile element , and carbonatite-REE systems. The positions are intended to start as early as the fir...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Geochemistry within the Geochemistry and Interfacial Sciences Group, Chemical Science Division, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States . The project focuses on the stability of precipitated amorphous materials, their reactivity, and mineral formation pathways, including amorphous-to-crystalline transitions and the behavior of critical elements in minerals. The work connects strongly with geochemi...

Alexandra Brumberg’s group at Drexel University is recruiting for two chemistry-related openings: a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student. Postdoc: The project focuses on structure/property relationships governing emission in hybrid metal halide phosphors. The work involves design and construction of optical instrumentation and the use of ultrafast optical spectroscopy, including transient absorption and time-correlated single photon counting, to study emission lifetimes and mechanisms. Appl...
