Postdoctoral Appointee – Advanced Electrochemical Separations
A
Argonne National Laboratory
📍 Lemont, IL, United States
Job Description
The postdoctoral appointee will be part of a multidisciplinary team developing an innovative electrochemical rotating packed bed reactor platform for energy-efficient separation of elements from complex mixtures.
Day-to-day responsibilities will include designing and fabricating electrochemical reactor prototypes, conducting electrodeposition experiments in deep eutectic solvent (DES) media, characterizing mass transfer and selectivity under flow conditions, and screening and tuning DES compositions to optimize solubility, speciation, and electrochemical accessibility for target elements.
The candidate will work closely with computational modeling collaborators to validate reactor designs and optimize operating parameters. The candidate will be expected to contribute to report preparation, presentation of results at conferences, and production of peer-reviewed publications.
