Case Western Reserve University’s Duval Lab is hiring two postdoctoral researchers in critical mineral recovery from waste streams. Both projects use rotating packed bed separation technology developed in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and offer opportunities to work with national laboratory and industry partners. The first postdoctoral project is funded through DARPA and focuses on an electrochemical rotating packed bed reactor. Responsibilities include complex fluid characteriz...

Cornell University’s Department of Animal Science is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Associate in Dairy Cattle Biology in Ithaca, New York, United States. The research focuses on evaluating novel feed additive technologies that improve milk production efficiency while reducing enteric methane emissions and environmental impacts. The postdoctoral researcher will join a laboratory team working on dairy cattle nutrition, milk production efficiency, methane mitigation, and livestock sustainabili...

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of water and health within the UNC Water Institute and the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Projects may address novel disinfection technologies, environmental health microbiology, quantitative microbial risk assessment, drinking water, wastewater, and other environmental matrices. Research will involve field- and laboratory-b...

The Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Thermodynamic Modelling and Equations of State for its Laboratory for Waste Management (LES). The postdoctoral researcher will develop and apply equations of state and activity models for fluid-rock interaction in hydrothermal systems and the mobility of critical elements. The work includes compiling, evaluating, and interpreting experimental thermodynamic data; using physical, statistical, and mac...

The University of North Carolina Wilmington invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Economics of Coastal Hazards and Resilience in the Department of Economics and Finance within the Cameron School of Business. The postdoctoral scholar will work with Professor Meghan Millea on the economics research thrust of the NSF-funded Coastal Hazards, Economic Prosperity, and Resilience (CHEER) research hub. CHEER brings together engineers, economists, and social scientists to study hurricane ris...

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Rangeland, Wildlife & Fisheries Management in College Station, Texas. The project focuses on environmental DNA (eDNA) assay development to detect bat species from water, soil, and air-filter samples. The researcher will design and validate molecular assays from initial development through a three-tier laboratory detection workflow involving qPCR, digital PCR, and nanopore sequencing. Duties include nucl...

The Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar in the NICHD-funded T32 training program, “From Biological to Social Processes: Interdisciplinary Training in Life Course Research.” The position is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. The program trains postdoctoral scholars to work across disciplinary boundaries and develop creative, integrative approaches to understanding the factors that...

The National Research Council Canada is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Halifax, Canada, through its Metrology Research Centre. The two-year project, Innovating Algal Biotoxin Surveillance Through Digital Immuno-Polymerase Chain Reaction , will develop molecular and analytical tools for detecting harmful algal blooms and cyanobacterial toxins. The fellow will establish droplet digital PCR assays targeting toxin-biosynthesis genes, then develop immuno-ddPCR methods that combine antibody-based...

The National Research Council Canada is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Low-Carbon Concrete Materials for a two-year term in Ottawa, Canada, within the Construction organizational unit. The project, Engineered Recycled Glass as a Supplementary Cementitious Material for Low Carbon, High Performance Concrete — Stabilizing the Supply Chain in Canada , will investigate ground recycled glass as a scalable supplementary cementitious material. The research supports cement decarbonization and circular ...
