Job Title: Chemist Postdoc Fellow
Req Number: 24013
Division: Environmental Energy Tech
Department: Advanced Energy
Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is providing solutions to scientific problems! Are you someone who can make a difference on our team?
We are currently seeking a Chemist Postdoctoral Fellow to join our Environmental Energy Technologies Division. As a part of the Advanced Energy Department, the Chemist Postdoctoral Fellow prepares, characterizes and optimizes electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries.
The Chemist Postdoctoral Fellow will:
• Prepare well-known and new electrode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries using conventional (solid state and hydrothermal) methods and novel synthetic routes. The emphasis will be on the cathode electrode.
• Characterize materials using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric and calorimetric analysis, visible-UV, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as well as synchrotron-related spectroscopic techniques.
• Investigate and evaluate phase transformations, intercalation phenomena, and kinetic and thermodynamic properties of battery electrode materials using electrochemical techniques such as cycling tests, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry.
• Prepare manuscripts and reports. Make presentations at scientific meetings and internal seminars.
• Carry out collaborative research with research associates, post-doctoral fellows, visiting scientists and students.
Qualifications:
• A recent Ph.D in chemistry, material sciences, or closely related field.
• Knowledge of rechargeable battery chemistry, and familiarity with electroanalytical techniques (CV, chronoamperometry etc.).
• Extensive experience in the use of spectroscopy instruments, image processing, simulation and numerical analysis of spectroscopic and microscopic data.
• Expertise in solid-state chemistry, crystallography and electron microscopy, especially transmission electron microscopy.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with other researchers in a diverse team.
Notes
This is a full-time, one year appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon performance, business needs and continuation of funding.
