About this position

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Energy Systems Modeling to join the Energy Analysis Division in Berkeley, California. The work supports research aimed at developing competitive, affordable, reliable, and lower-impact energy systems.

The researcher will contribute to multidisciplinary projects focused on process models, technical performance benchmarks, and prospective technoeconomic assessments for critical gas separations involving ammonia, hydrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide, as well as separations of critical solids. The projects also address energy generation and chemical production.

A central component of the role is collaboration with experimentalists to develop mechanistic and physics-informed models of material-based technologies within integrated system models. The researcher will construct and optimize models in ASPEN and apply machine learning to high-throughput scenario modeling. The work will connect experimental findings with system-level analysis and help evaluate how targeted technologies could perform in important end-use applications and sectors.

Responsibilities include technoeconomic analysis, data analysis and visualization, interpretation of technology impacts, and communication of results through internal meetings, scientific conferences, peer-reviewed publications, research reports, public-facing websites, and tools. The postdoctoral researcher will work with colleagues whose expertise spans statistics, physics, energy technologies, and machine learning, and will help translate research results into industry impact.

The position offers an opportunity to participate in systems and energy technology analysis, contribute to research proposals and funding-agency briefings, and potentially mentor interns. The research environment emphasizes team science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical influence on energy technology development.

Funding details

This is a full-time, two-year postdoctoral appointment, with possible renewal based on satisfactory performance, continued funding, and operational needs. The monthly salary range is $7,029 to $8,152, expected to start at $7,029 or above, with pay determined by postdoctoral step rates. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; retirement savings options; paid time off, sick leave, and holidays; eight weeks of qualifying postdoctoral paid family leave; and access to postdoctoral prof

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Chemical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, or a related field, and must have less than three years of paid postdoctoral experience. Requirements include strong programming experience; familiarity with software versioning systems for data analysis, visualization, and management; knowledge of critical mineral or critical gas separations and purification; knowledge of ASPEN modeling and physics-based cost assessments; the ability to publish results in relevant journals or reports; the ability to work in an integrated, diverse team environment; and excellent written and oral communication skills. Interest in solving energy-related science challenges is expected. Experience with ammonia production, hydrogen or thermal energy technologies, energy-system integration, and multidisciplinary research is advantageous. A background check is required, and on-site work requires acceptable identification for access to Berkeley Lab facilities.

How to apply

Apply through the Berkeley Lab job advertisement using the application portal. Submit a cover letter describing your interest and relevant background, together with a CV or resume. Priority consideration is given to applications submitted by December 4, 2026; applications remain open until the posting is removed.
