About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Chemical Process and Nuclear Measurements Group. The research focuses on the recovery of critical minerals such as lithium and rare earth elements from electronic scrap (e-scrap), a key challenge in advancing the circular economy and sustainability in the United States.

The successful candidate will use advanced wet chemistry and nuclear analytical methods, including ICP-OES, ICP-MS, XRF, and Neutron Activation Analysis, to characterize material streams and identify opportunities to improve recycling efficiency. Responsibilities include sample preparation (milling, grinding, microwave-assisted acid digestion), developing quantification methods, and working safely with hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials under radiological conditions. The role aims to publish impactful findings that will guide the future of the U.S. critical mineral supply chain.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science, with experience in microwave acid digestion and ICP-OES. Knowledge of critical minerals analysis and comfort working with radioactive materials are required. U.S. citizenship is preferred. The position is based in Washington, D.C., United States, and is supervised by Professor David Broniatowski.

Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all qualifications. This is an excellent opportunity for analytical chemists passionate about sustainability and advanced materials research.
