Postdoctoral Appointee - Materials Recycling Researcher
This job is no longer available
There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
About The Position
The Applied Materials Division (AMD) at Argonne National Laboratory conducts applied research to develop sustainable innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of resource and energy utilization; to minimize our dependence on imported energy; and to enhance our national security. A research and development position is now open in the Materials Recycling R&D Group. A post doc position is now open in the Materials Recycling R&D Group. This position is focused on battery recycling R&D but may include plastics and metals materials recovery and separation for recycling. The successful candidate will join a team developing and testing material separations and recycling operations and will help contribute to that team. The successful candidate is not required to have but would benefit from a good understanding of lithium-ion battery systems and performance characteristics, and/or recycling operations for plastics and metals. The work will involve R&D on a broad range of separation technologies as well as pilot plant design, installation, and operation. Experience in battery direct recycling and hydro/pyro-based recycling processes a plus. Additionally, some work may include cathode synthesis. Due to the chemical and mechanical nature of the processes being worked on, mechanical aptness is very helpful to be successful in this position.
