Postdoctoral Research Associate
Brookhaven Lab
National lab for basic, applied sciences
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will perform the characterization of well-defined metal, oxide and oxide/metal surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The studies will be an essential part in a project aimed at catalyst characterization and mechanistic studies linked to C1 chemistry {CO2 hydrogenation and methane activation and conversion} on model catalysts that is funded by the US Department of Energy.
The studies will be carried out using a combination of a variable temperature ultra-high vacuum STM and a STM which can be operated under moderate pressures (up to 100 Torr) and temperatures. Parallel to the STM studies, we will be investigating the surface chemistry of C1 processes using infrared spectroscopy and ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (in lab and synchrotron based). Due to the nature of the experiments, the new research associate should have a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering or physics with extensive experience in scanning tunneling microscopy and surface science.

Brookhaven National Laboratory requires all non-badged personnel including visitors to produce a REAL-ID or REAL-ID compliant documentation to access Brookhaven National Laboratory – view more information at www.bnl.gov/real-id. This is due to nationwide identification requirements for federal site access as required by the federal REAL ID Act. Those not in possession of a REAL ID-compliant document will not be permitted to access the site which includes access to the Laboratory for interviews.
As a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory requires employees to obtain and maintain a DOE Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) credential in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) requirements. The credentialing process is completed as part of onboarding and enables access to DOE facilities and information systems. As a condition of employment, the selected candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a UPIV credential. These requirements are established under DOE Order 206.2 Chg. 2, Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM- Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM)), and DOE Order 473.1A- Physical Protection Program- Physical Protection Program.
About Us
Brookhaven National Laboratory (www.bnl.gov) delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation’s future. Brookhaven Lab is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 37 R&D 100 Awards, and more than 70 years of pioneering research. The Lab is primarily supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science. Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) operates and manages the Laboratory for DOE. BSA is a partnership between Battelle and The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University. BSA salutes our veterans and active military members with careers that leverage the skills and unique experience they gained while serving our country, learn more at BNL | Opportunities for Veterans at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

National lab for basic, applied sciences
Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multi-purpose research institution focused on basic and applied science. It conducts research in physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, energy technologies, and national security, and it builds and operates major scientific facilities that university, industry, and government researchers can use. Its operations are managed for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a partnership between the Research Foundation of the State University of New York (on behalf of Stony Brook University) and Battelle. Unlike purely academic labs, Brookhaven provides access to large, shared facilities and supports collaboration across academia, industry, and government. Its goal is to advance fundamental knowledge and develop practical technologies by running and maintaining facilities, conducting experiments, and enabling external researchers to perform cutting-edge work.
