Overview:

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Research Position in our Chemical Process Science Research Group in the Energy and Transportation Science Division.

About the position:

1. The successful applicant will conduct research in membrane/adsorbent materials synthesis and separation/purification process development for producing biomass/CO2 to bio fuels and high-value chemicals.
2. The Bio processing Separations Consortium is a highly collaborative interdisciplinary team of chemical engineers, material scientists, physical chemists, electrochemists and biochemical engineers/scientists working toward advance functional materials and processes
3. Research will include development of membrane and sorbent materials including but not limited to ceramic/polymeric/hollow fibber membranes/sorbents for enhanced water/ion/gas transport, highly selective organic molecule extraction processes, and adsorptions.
4. for separations and catalytic conversions of biomass and derived intermediates; more information can be found at bioesep.org.
5. The postdoc will be encouraged to collaborate with the consortium team as well as other ORNL researchers and actively present results at team meetings and conferences.

Eligibility Criteria:

• D. in chemical engineering, chemistry (polymer, organic synthetic), materials science and engineering, biochemical engineering, or a closely related discipline completed within the last five years.

How to apply:

• If you have trouble applying for a position, please email ORNLRecruiting@ornl.gov.
