Radiochemistry - Postdoctoral Researcher

We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to play a major role in development of novel radiochemical separations, microfluidic techniques and detection for superheavy element experiments.  The position will also include collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Heavy Element group for on-line experiments at the 88-inch cyclotron. The candidate will apply novel radiochemistry separations to microfluidic systems aimed at studying the chemical properties of copernicium atom-at-a-time.  This position is in the Nuclear and Radiochemistry group of the Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division.

Depending on your assignment, this position may offer a hybrid schedule, blending in-person and virtual presence. You may have the flexibility to work from home one or more days per week. <Delete if using an alternate hybrid statement>

You will

• Develop microfluidic systems to automate and perform radiochemical separations on ultra-trace levels of radionuclides towards the aim of atom-at-a-time chemistry on-line at an accelerator.
• Perform radioanalytical sample processing and data analysis to interpret results.
• Work with LBNL and LLNL scientists to integrate microfluidic separations with on-line detection systems and the accelerator facility.
• Prepare and conduct technical presentations for internal and external audiences.
• Document research, publish papers in peer-reviewed journals, and present results within the DOE community and at conferences.
• Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally.
• Collaborate with others in a multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
