Postdoctoral Position in Complex Metal Alloys for Hydrogen Storage and Processing Sandia National Laboratories in United States

Postdoctoral Opportunity in Complex Metal Alloys for Hydrogen Storage and Processing at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California, USA.

This postdoc is centered on hydrogen storage, hydrogen processing, and advanced energy materials, with a strong emphasis on complex metal alloys made from earth-abundant elements. The research aims to develop materials for hydrogen purification, separation, storage, and compression, especially under realistic industrial conditions.

The project involves high-throughput alloy synthesis using additive manufacturing and automated arc-melting platforms, along with advanced characterization methods such as X-ray crystallography, neutron diffraction, spectroscopy, and pair distribution function analysis. The work sits at the interface of materials science, chemistry, metallurgy, and hydrogen technologies.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in chemistry, metallurgy, materials science, or a related field; experience in materials synthesis and structural characterization; and preferred experience with alloy synthesis, glove-box techniques, arc melting, induction melting, additive manufacturing, and hydrogen-related materials research.

Institution: Sandia National Laboratories, a U.S. national laboratory with major sites in Livermore, California and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
