Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a Group Leader in Fuels and Chemicals. This position is in the Life Cycle Analysis and Technology Assessment (Fuels and Chemicals) department in the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Assessment Division. The group leader will provide advanced R&D expertise in the fields of energy and environment effects of transportation fuels, chemicals, and products through use of the GREET LCA model, process modeling of production processes, technology trend examination, data analysis, and energy systems modeling. The candidate will market ongoing research and expertise of the group in the area of energy and environmental effects of new fuels and chemicals to facilitate growth of the Group. The candidate will work with the Department Director and the Division Director to advance ESIA division mission and strategies and to ensure that DOE and Argonne safety and security requirements are met by personnel within the Group. Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy multidisciplinary science and engineering research center, where talented researchers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity. Argonne’s Energy Systems and Infrastructure Assessment (ESIA) division within the Advanced Energy Technologies (AET) directorate is conducting research to address advanced energy systems, their economic and environmental effects, and their role in US energy security and global competitiveness through transparent, consistent, and objective analytic models and tools. We identify opportunities for the US to develop and deploy creative strategies with world-class expertise and models/tools. Within ESIA, the Fuels and Chemicals Group provides analyses of technology advancements that enable production of fuels, chemicals, and plastics to strengthen the U.S. bioeconomy. Its research allows stakeholders to identify the challenges associated with converting diverse feedstock categories including fossil-based, biomass, and waste materials into fuels, chemicals, and plastics; and to seek the opportunities to improve their energy and environmental performance and production ramp up. Its research scope encompasses feedstock production, conversion, end-of-life, and recycling. The Group addresses water quantity and quality impacts of energy technologies. The Group develops and apply life cycle analysis under the GREET modeling platform to evaluate energy and environmental performances of biofuels and bio-chemicals vs. conventional fuels and chemicals. Specific Responsibilities: + Take overall operational, budgetary, and financial responsibilities and activities of the Group with planning, budgeting, execution, reporting, and delivery of individual projects and associated work products within the Group by working closely with project PIs and staff. + Supervise, direct, and mentor junior staff to aid their research and career development. + Coordinate and collaborate with other group managers in the ESIA Division, other Argonne Divisions, other national labs, and external organizations to develop new initiatives and projects supporting DOE and other sponsors. + Conduct research for projects on which the Leader is the PI developing ideas/initiatives, identifying publishing opportunities, authoring papers and other work products, and pursuing further research opportunities. Act as PI in the area of energy and environmental effects of fuels and chemicals to lead and manage specific projects including project planning, budgeting, execution, reporting, and delivery. + Plan and implement systems to facilitate work performance within the Group and fulfill the mission and goals of the Division efficiently and effectively. **Position Requirements** + Minimum qualifications include the following education and professional experience combinations with degree(s) in Chemical Engineering or related field(s): PhD and 7+ years of experience; Master of Science and 10+ years of experience; Bachelor of Science and 12+ years of experience. + Knowledge, experience and skill in fuels and bio-based chemicals, and their technical, energy, and environmental performances. + Knowledge, experience and skill in LCA with Argonne GREET model for fuels and chemicals and demonstrated experience and technical skills to apply LCA for new fuels and chemicals. + Experience and skill in working effectively on multiple projects simultaneously and meeting expectations of sponsors, contractors, and other outside professionals to deliver on time and within budget. + Supervising experiences of +5 years + Collaborative skills including the ability to work well with other researchers within Argonne, other national labs, research institutions, and industrial collaborators. + Oral and written communication skills and ability to effectively communicate technical findings and organizational visions, goals, and strategic initiatives through group meetings, one-on-one engagements, and regular interpersonal communication. + Knowledge of Argonne and DOE policies and procedures to effectively execute them within the Group. + This position requires an on-site presence at the Argonne campus in Lemont, Illinois. + Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork. + Ability to make our laboratory a safe, welcoming, inclusive, and accessible environment where all can thrive. **Job Family** Research Development (RD) **Job Profile** Eng Systems Modeling-Simulation-Analysis Leader 1 **Worker Type** Regular **Time Type** Full time The expected hiring range for this position is $137,577.00 - $223,567.11.
