Postdoctoral Appointee

The Postdoctoral Appointee will be part of a R&D group conducting use-inspired research supporting the development of next-generation energy technologies such as nuclear fuel recycling and decarbonization applications.

With guidance, the appointee will:

• Develop advanced multiscale, multiphysics simulation tools applicable to the modeling of chemical processes and equipment relevant to chemical engineering and nuclear-chemical engineering systems

• Create new reduced-order models and submodels related to the fluid flow, heat transfer, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry in multiphase systems

• Use modeling tools to develop and optimize new processes and equipment designs using high-performance computing

• Analyze data, prepare manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed publications, prepare technical reports for sponsors, and attend and make presentations at scientific meetings

• Communicate effectively with supervisors, peers, and Laboratory management through status updates, technical research reports, project presentations, and other regular channels.

Position Requirements

• Skill in modeling, processing, and analyzing computational results to inform accompanying experimental efforts.

• Skill in the use of modern collaborative coding practices

• Demonstrated experience with the application of multiphysics modeling to model complex physical phenomena

• Strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.

• Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

• To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.

• Work conducted under this posting will require the appointee to obtain a security clearance.

This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field at the PhD degree level with zero to five years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience.
