We invite you to apply for a Postdoctoral Appointee position within our Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division (CSE). In this role you will: Conduct research as part of a multidisciplinary team in heterogeneous supported inorganic and organometallic catalysis. Perform detailed _in situ_ / _operando_ studies of catalysts using X-ray Absorption and Emission Spectroscopies, as well as other advanced spectroscopic techniques. Design, synthesize, and characterize metal-ligand complexes supported on metal oxide and/or non-traditional support materials. Evaluate the catalytic activity of these materials and how electronic metal-support interactions in non-traditional catalyst materials can be leveraged to modulate catalytic activity and selectivity, including studies towards understanding reaction mechanisms through reaction kinetics analysis and other physical organic and inorganic techniques. **Position Requirements** + Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in fields of organic, organometallic, or inorganic chemistry - scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience + Experience with spectroscopy applied to catalysis, especially XAS and other X-ray spectroscopy techniques + Experience in the synthesis and testing of heterogeneous catalysts + Understanding of kinetics and thermodynamics as applied to catalysis + Knowledge of and experimental expertise in synthesis and characterization of highly air-sensitive catalyst materials + Experience with the design and construction of batch and flow reactors for catalysis + Experience with analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy + Proficiency in written and oral communication + Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork **Job Family** Postdoctoral **Job Profile** Postdoctoral Appointee **Worker Type** Long-Term (Fixed Term) **Time Type** Full time The expected hiring range for this position is $70,758.00 - $110,379.55.
