About this position
National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for its Chemistry and Nanoscience Center in Golden, Colorado. The project focuses on proton-exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis and the development of advanced and novel electrodes for membrane electrode assembly (MEA) integration.
The researcher will contribute to or develop novel PEM electrodes and devices that use these electrodes, primarily for PEM electrolyzers. The work may also support related electrochemical energy-conversion technologies, including fuel cells, electrochemical hydrogen compression, and electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction.
Research activities will involve electrode synthesis, characterization of physical and electrochemical properties, and integration of cell components into MEAs. The project examines how processing methods and chemical composition influence electrode structure, performance, and durability, while providing opportunities to address both fundamental and applied questions in electrochemical energy systems.
The position is part of NLR’s multidisciplinary energy research environment, which combines state-of-the-art facilities with collaborations across industry, academia, and national laboratories. The researcher will work in a mission-driven setting focused on developing scalable, reliable, and cost-effective energy technologies.

What's required
Applicants must be recent PhD graduates who completed the educational requirements before the employment start date, with the PhD awarded within the last three years. Required experience includes synthesis and characterization of PEM electrolysis electrodes, analysis of physical and electrochemical cell properties, understanding of membrane electrode assembly integration and how processing and chemical composition affect electrode structure, performance, and durability, and experience testing PEM electrolyzers. Applicants should demonstrate success addressing fundamental and applied science questions and solving challenging problems. Preferred qualifications include a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or materials science and engineering; publications or presentations related to polymer electrolytes, electrolyzers, or fuel cells; strong experimental-result interpretation and assessment skills; and excellent interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a federal PIV card, pass the required background investigation, satisfy DOE access and work-authorization requirements, and pass a pre-employment drug test.
