In Situ And Operando Ambient Pressure Xps Characterization Postdoc
Company | Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory |
Address | , San Francisco Bay Area, Ca |
Employment type | |
Salary | $4,636 - $5,717 a month |
Expires | 2023-06-26 |
Posted at | 1 year ago |
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL) Chemical Sciences Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the team.
In this exciting role, you will employ in situ/operando spectroscopy characterization to study primarily solid/gas and solid/liquid electrochemical interfaces. The experimental research focus will be on the fundamental understanding of interfacial electrochemical processes primarily using ambient pressure X-ray spectroscopy (APXPS) at ALS. The types of systems we hope to explore will focus on a size-controlled oxides and molecular molecule electrodes for water electrolysis, fuel cells, and CO2 reduction.
What You Will Do:
- Collaborate and work in teams of scientists from diverse backgrounds and play a key role in merging efforts that span electrochemistry, materials, characterization, and theory.
- Publish original research in peer-reviewed journals; contribute to scientific publications; present research through talks and posters at conferences, workshops, and multi-investigator meetings.
- Conduct research using ambient pressure X-ray spectroscopy (APXPS) to reveal interfacial chemistry and potential profile insight of electrochemical reactions occurring at a solid/gas and solid/liquid interface for example, water splitting on tungsten oxide electrodes, and the electrochemical double layer.
- Utilize and advance experimental techniques, for example, synchrotron-based or lab-based X-ray measurements and other characterization tools to probe chemistry.
- Uphold a culture of safety and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Participate in weekly and biweekly meetings and seminars.
What is Required:
- Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or other related fields with electrochemistry and/or spectroscopy research focus.
- Proven ability to publish research in scientific/technical journals supported by a strong publication record.
- Creative and independent problem solver with a track record of tackling research projects from initiation to meaningful conclusion.
- Good motivation to work in a team with people from various background and research topics effectively
- Strong background in electrochemistry or photoelectrochemistry, and electrochemical measurements.
- Ability to work independently in developing electrochemical systems for in situ and operando spectroscopy measurements.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong background in X-ray spectroscopy
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience of working with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers
For Consideration, please apply by Jan 16, 2023 with the following application materials:
- 2-Page Research Statement (Optional) - Regarding interests in probing in situ/operando interfaces
- Cover Letter - Describe your interest in this position and the relevance of your background
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume
