Job Description
Sandia National Laboratories is one of the country’s largest research and engineering laboratories, employing 8,100 people at major facilities in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Livermore, California. We make enduring contributions to secure our society against high consequence terrorist threats and national incidents through effective use of science, technology, and systems solutions. Please visit our website at www.sandia.gov. We are searching for Post Docs in Inorganic/Organic Framework Gas Storage Materials for the Surface and Interface Science Department at the Albuquerque facility. The salary is $80,000 per year. A benefit and relocation package is available. Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Security Clearance.

Engage various methods of both inorganic and metal-organic framework syntheses, materials characterization, gas sorption and stability studies. Conduct research that provides basic science understanding on one or more of the following topics related to nuclear waste form materials research: use of zeolite/molecular chemistry for capturing iodine (why the structure is selective for iodine), gas sorption measurement strategies for quantitative analysis of iodine captured on select zeolite materials, and structural stability, encapsulation (ceramic, glass), and time durability studies of the incorporation of targeted zeolites into waste forms. Closely interface and collaborate with other researchers both internal and external to Sandia. Under mentor’s guidance, the postdoctoral candidate must be capable of independently conducting various research-related activities including: novel porous materials and/or glass synthesis (and related characterization), gas sorption materials studies, and gas storage materials studies. State-of-the-art facilities are available for materials growth, fabrication and measurements.

Additional Salary Information: The salary is $80,000 per year. A benefit and relocation package is available.

Requirements
A recent Ph.D. in the area of chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or solid state physics is required. Relevant experience with a useful subset of the following experimental techniques is required: X-ray diffraction, electron microscopies (e.g., HRTEM, SEM), UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, structure determination, and/or physical analytical methods (e.g., gas sorption, surface area analysis, chemical analysis (ICP-MS), FTIR). Relevant Experience with most or all of these techniques is highly desired. The willingness to quickly master all of these techniques is required. Should be able to demonstrate effective soft skills appropriate for successfully interfacing with a wide variety of internal and external collaborators in various projects.
