About this position
Idaho National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Bioenergy Feedstock Technologies Department in Idaho Falls, United States. The project focuses on developing camelina (Camelina sativa) as a scalable, low-input intermediate oilseed feedstock for domestic bioproducts.
The research will examine the post-harvest cleaning, conditioning, and storage steps that influence oil and meal quality before conversion. The researcher will quantify the biological stability of terrestrial feedstocks during storage by measuring seed and oil degradation across different equilibrium moisture levels, temperatures, and storage durations. The results will support a safe-storage basis and enable process intensification through improved storage conditions.
The postdoctoral researcher will work alongside staff engineers and scientists in a multi-laboratory research environment, with exposure to pilot-scale preprocessing equipment. The role offers opportunities to develop independent research ideas and gain experience in proposal development and funding pursuit. The work combines bioenergy feedstock technology, oilseed processing, biomass characterization, chemical processing, and bioproduct development.
The interdisciplinary research environment is suited to candidates interested in laboratory and light-industrial R&D, thermal processing, wet-chemistry sample preparation, analytical characterization, mechanical processing, fermentation, and process scale-up. The position also involves preparing scientific manuscripts and presenting results at national and international conferences and meetings.

What's required
Applicants must have a PhD in chemical, mechanical, agricultural, or materials engineering, chemistry, or a comparable discipline. The PhD must be completed by the appointment start date and within the previous five years. Demonstrated oral and published written communication skills in English are required. Preferred qualifications include hands-on experience with biomass-to-bioproduct storage or conversion, fermentation and bioprocess development, chemical pretreatment and solid-liquid separation, mechanical processing and particulate characterization, design of experiments, laboratory record-keeping, data analysis, statistics, and visualization using tools such as Excel, Python, MATLAB, JMP, or Minitab. Candidates should be comfortable in laboratory and light-industrial environments, organized and careful with data and samples, self-motivated, and able to work independently and collaboratively. Physical duties include standing, walking, bending, handling materials and equipment, and occasionally lifting up to 25 pounds.
