About this position
Los Alamos National Laboratory's Materials Science and Technology Structure/Property Relations group seeks a postdoctoral researcher to develop and apply advanced in situ and operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy for critical-material systems.
The project will examine chemistry and local structure during chemical separation and electrochemical processes. Research will use synchrotron-based XAS, including HERFD-XANES and EXAFS, with complementary techniques to study coordination chemistry, chemical speciation, reaction mechanisms and the influence of local chemical environments and interfaces on separation and electrochemical behavior. Rare-earth and other critical-material systems are included, with opportunities related to actinide and f-element chemistry.
The researcher will design and conduct experiments at Department of Energy Office of Science synchrotron user facilities, develop in situ and operando sample environments, analyze spectroscopic datasets and interpret results. Work may involve electrochemical cells, non-aqueous or concentrated electrolytes, electrodeposition, corrosion science and surface characterization. Complementary methods may include X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, supported where appropriate by scientific programming or computational spectroscopy.
The researcher will work within the interdisciplinary MST-8 team and collaborate with Los Alamos researchers and partner institutions. The role offers opportunities to lead beamtime campaigns, publish high-impact research and contribute to next-generation characterization capabilities for critical-materials research. The work is onsite in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

What's required
Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field completed within the last five years. Applicants should have a strong background in synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy, especially XAS including XANES and/or EXAFS; hands-on experience with operando or in situ spectroscopy; fundamental or applied electrochemistry; and physical research experience in electrochemistry, corrosion science, or surface characterization. Experience with XRD, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, or XPS, along with creative independent work, multidisciplinary collaboration, and excellent communication and writing skills, is required. Desired qualifications include developing in situ or operando sample environments, electrochemistry or electrodeposition in non-aqueous or concentrated electrolytes, rare-earth, actinide or f-element chemistry, advanced X-ray spectroscopy, scientific programming in Python or MATLAB, complementary characterization, computational spectroscopy, and collaborative research. Applicants must satisfy applicable federal eligibility and background-investigation requirements for the position's Q clearance; restrictions apply to certain foreign nationals.
