About this position

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is offering a PhD internship in atmospheric chemistry within the Integrated Discovery Sciences Directorate. The intern will join researchers working on atmospheric chemistry projects associated with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL).

The project focuses on using high-resolution mass spectrometry to characterize the organic molecular composition of atmospheric particles. Samples will include laboratory-generated materials as well as samples collected during U.S. Department of Energy field campaigns. The work combines atmospheric chemistry, analytical chemistry, aerosol characterization, and environmental molecular science.

The intern will collect and analyze high-resolution mass spectrometry datasets, document analytical methods and standard operating procedures, test results, and implement quality assurance and quality control practices. The role also involves considering system design improvements that emphasize throughput and automation, including improvements to existing platforms and novel analytical method development for aerosol analysis.

The research environment is collaborative, with interaction among EMSL scientists and atmospheric researchers. The intern will have opportunities to contribute to thesis-relevant manuscript development and present research at institutional, national, and international conferences.

Funding details

Temporary part-time paid internship at USD $24.04–$36.06 per hour. Temporary employees are offered an employee assistance program and business travel insurance.

What's required

Applicants must be currently enrolled or matriculated in a PhD program at an accredited college and have a minimum GPA of 3.0. Experience in mass spectrometry is required. Preferred qualifications include Python programming, operation of high-resolution mass spectrometry systems such as Orbitrap, ambient ionization methods such as ESI or nano-DESI, strong written and oral communication skills, teamwork and independent-working ability, and demonstrated ability or interest in leading peer-reviewed publications. Employment also requires meeting applicable PNNL and Department of Energy security, credentialing, eligibility, and foreign-affiliation requirements.

How to apply

Review the position details and submit your application through the PNNL application portal. Prepare evidence of current PhD enrollment, GPA, mass spectrometry experience, and relevant preferred skills.
