The Chemistry Division has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate with a two-year contract. The RA will be responsible for the development of non-PGM/low-PGM electrocatalysts for seawater electrolyzers, including nanomaterials synthesis and electrochemical characterization such as cyclic voltammograms and polarization curve measurements. The RA will also characterize the nanocatalysts using scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), as well as other conventional techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The RA will also participate in research using in situ synchrotron-based characterization using electrochemical cells at NSLS-II/BNL. This position will include efforts as part of the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program for R&D on electrocatalysts for seawater electrolysis.
Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Energy and Photon Sciences Directorate are committed to your success. We offer a supportive work environment and the resources necessary for you to succeed.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities
Brookhaven Laboratory is committed to providing fair, equitable and competitive compensation. The full salary range for this position is $80,000 - $85,000/year.
