About this position

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the Nanocomposite Materials and Membrane Manufacturing group within the Applied Materials Division. The project focuses on advanced materials and membrane technologies for water treatment and critical mineral recovery.

The researcher will develop element-selective sorbents and polymer membranes using chemical reaction and solution-based synthesis. Work will include designing material compositions and microstructures to achieve targeted mass transport, charge transport, separation, adsorption, permeance, selectivity, and chemical-stability properties.

Research activities include polymer and monomer synthesis, surface modification and functionalization, composite and hybrid material design, and formulation of inks for membrane deposition. The group uses electrospinning, slot-die coating, 3D printing, roll-to-roll manufacturing, and machine-learning-enabled in-line characterization and quality control. The role also involves investigating membrane fouling, scaling, failure mechanisms, and postmortem behavior.

As part of the Materials Engineering Research Facilities, the postdoctoral researcher will work in a multidisciplinary environment with Argonne researchers, industry partners, and academic collaborators. Responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, exploring mechanisms, preparing technical reports and manuscripts, presenting findings at conferences, and supporting collaborative research and future project development.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term postdoctoral employment with an expected hiring salary range of $72,879–$121,465 per year. Comprehensive employee benefits are included as part of the total rewards package.

What's required

Applicants must have a recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD, typically completed within the last 0–5 years, in chemical engineering, materials science, or a related field. Candidates should demonstrate knowledge of materials synthesis and characterization, membranes, water treatment, element extraction, and transport-property studies, including electrochemical properties of ion-exchange membranes and permeance/selectivity tradeoffs. Experience with polymer and sorbent synthesis, surface functionalization, coating, printing, wet-chemistry deposition, and analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM, FTIR, Raman, XPS, HPLC, ICP-MS, and EIS is expected. A publication record, excellent written and oral communication, and the ability to contribute to proposals, reports, journal papers, and patents are required. Preferred experience includes casting, slot-die coating, electrospinning, chemical synthesis, adsorption studies, aerosol jet printing, or 3D printing. Candidates should be self-motivated, creative, able to conduct independent and collaborative multidisciplinary research, and able to meet project milestones. Full-time, on-site presence five days per week at Argonne's Lemont campus is required.
