About this position
Join the Berkeley Lab Molecular Foundry for a postdoctoral researcher opening in synthetic chemistry and coordination chemistry. The project focuses on designing bio-derived chelators and polymer sorbents for critical mineral recovery, spanning work from molecular selectivity to a working separation.
This opportunity is a strong fit for a chemist interested in translating molecular design into practical separation performance. The post specifically seeks someone with a background in synthetic or coordination chemistry who wants to contribute across both the design and application sides of the project.
Location: Bay Area, California, United States.
Application: Priority review begins December 1. Use the job link to apply through the Berkeley Lab careers portal.
