What Your Job Will Be Like


We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee in Geochemistry/Atmospheric
chemistry. Are you looking to do innovative and creative research? Do you
want to be a member of a high performing team? We are a diverse,
interdisciplinary team of scientists and professionals. Consider joining our
team.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

.        Perform chemical/thermodynamic modeling of atmospheric aerosols and
deliquescent brines, and aerosol exchange reactions with atmospheric gasses;

.        Work as a team member performing experimental and computational
studies evaluating the composition and evolution of deliquescent brines on
heated metal surfaces;

.        Work on a multi-disciplinary team involving several university and
national lab partners evaluating the potential atmospheric corrosion of
stainless steel structures;

.        Work to produce publications that show the creative research
performed which you can publish in leading technical journals and
presentations at national and international technical meetings.

 


Qualifications We Require


.        PhD in Atmospheric Science, Geochemistry, or a closely related
discipline;

.        Expertise in chemical modeling of atmospheric aerosols and exchange
reactions with atmospheric gases, or in geochemical modeling of concentrated
salt solutions;

.        Laboratory experience with experimental design and materials
characterization/analysis;

.        Strong record of independent research, peer-reviewed publications
and conference presentations;

.        Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE L-level security clearance.


Qualifications We Desire
