Postdoctoral Researcher - Instrument Development for Hydrogen Storage Materials
NREL
Job Description
The Chemistry & Nanoscience Center at NREL has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to support R&D within the HyMARC consortium that is dedicated to accelerating the discovery of advanced hydrogen storage materials and hydrogen carriers (https://www.hymarc.org/).
The position primarily involves Raman spectroscopy to determine ortho:para hydrogen ratios and PCT calorimetry to measure heats of adsorption for hydrogen interacting with hydrogen storage materials.
The development of best practices for equipment use, validation protocols, experimental design, data analysis, and data interpretation will be critical.
The successful candidate will have experience with characterization of hydrogen storage/carrier materials as well as experience with modifying equipment for optimum experimental results.
Basic Qualifications
Must be a recent PhD graduate within the last three years.
* Must meet educational requirements prior to employment start date.
Additional Required Qualifications
Experience with calorimetry and/or in situ/in operando Raman spectroscopy measurements.
Material characterization experience.
Experience with equipment modification.
Proficient in Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Strong self-motivation, ability to work on collaborative projects, ability to prioritize and balance different types of concurrent tasks, strong organization skills, attention to details.
Strong problem-solving skills.
Strong written, verbal, team, interpersonal and communication skills.
Proven research contributions.
Preferred Qualifications
Candidates should have at least two or more of the following:
Experience with equipment automation regarding integration of hardware and software
Experience with thermal management for custom equipment
Proven skills in troubleshooting and repairing complex mechanical and electrical systems
Ability to program in one or more languages preferably python and LabView
Experience with cryogenic systems down to 20K
Experience with designing instruments for use at cryogenic temperatures
Materials characterization skills such as BET, TEM, XRD, XRF, TPD, and adsorption measurements using a Sieverts apparatus.
Other significant computer programming experience
Experience with vacuum systems
Experience with high pressure systems (200 bar)
Experience with gas adsorption instruments
Experience with mass spectroscopy systems
Machine shop and/or mechanical design experience
