About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher for the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This position supports the Circular Economy program by advancing lithium battery recycling research. The successful candidate will focus on developing analytical methods to accurately quantify valuable minerals in 'black mass' (mixed battery waste) to facilitate their recovery and reuse, addressing critical challenges in clean energy storage as the world transitions to electric vehicles.

Key responsibilities include method development using ICP-OES and Neutron Activation Analysis, complex sample preparation involving milling, grinding, and acid digestion, and validation of measurement accuracy to improve the critical mineral supply chain. The role also requires working safely with hazardous chemicals and under radiological conditions due to the use of nuclear analytical methods.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science, with at least three years of experience in ICP-OES and acid digestion. Familiarity with lithium-ion battery chemistry or mineral processing is preferred. U.S. citizenship is preferred but not mandatory. The position is ideal for analytical chemists interested in contributing to sustainable energy solutions and the circular economy.

To apply, candidates should use the provided application link and ensure they meet the stated qualifications. For further information, applicants may contact Professor David Broniatowski via LinkedIn.

Funding details

The position is part of the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. No specific funding details, stipend, or tuition coverage are mentioned.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science. At least 3 years of experience with ICP-OES and acid digestion is required. Familiarity with lithium-ion battery chemistry or mineral processing is preferred. U.S. citizenship is preferred but not strictly required. Candidates should be comfortable working with hazardous chemicals and under radiological conditions.
