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.

Funding details

Postdoctoral opening; funding details are not specified in the post.

What's required

Looking for a synthetic or coordination chemist. The post emphasizes someone who can work across molecular selectivity and a working separation, and who wants to own both ends of the project.

How to apply

Apply via the linked Berkeley Lab jobs posting. Priority review begins December 1, so submit materials before then if possible.
