About this position

Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, United States, is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee in hydrometallurgical process engineering and chemical separations. The researcher will join the Chemical and Fuel Cycle Technologies Division and investigate recovery of critical materials from primary and secondary feedstocks.

The research focuses on chemical process engineering, hydrometallurgy, separation processes, and process intensification. Activities may include designing, assembling, operating, and troubleshooting bench- and pilot-scale systems; conducting leaching, liquid-liquid solvent extraction, adsorption, and related experiments; evaluating process performance and scale-up; and developing test plans, standard operating procedures, technical reports, publications, and sponsor deliverables.

The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with chemists, engineers, data scientists, technical staff, external partners, universities, and industry. Additional work includes process instrumentation, sensors, controls, data acquisition, characterization of aqueous and organic process streams, and data-driven analysis using tools such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, or a closely related discipline, completed within the past five years or soon to be completed. Experience in experimental chemical or process systems, independent research, technical communication, and relevant publications or presentations is expected. Experience with inorganic separations, rare-earth chemistry, or rotating equipment is advantageous but not required.

This is a full-time, long-term fixed-term postdoctoral appointment. The expected annual hiring range is $72,879-$121,465, with comprehensive benefits. Applications are submitted through the Argonne Careers Workday portal. The posting states that the role was posted more than 30 days ago and does not provide a closing date.
