We are actively seeking new postdocs!
We welcome applications from a huge diversity of scientific backgrounds. Our current postdocs come from PhDs as wide-ranging as organometallic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials science and chemical engineering. Experience with electrochemistry is not required.
We are particularly interested in candidates who display the following characteristics:
- Openness to pursue challenging projects in a new field
- Passion for collaboration and mentorship
- Proficiency in oral and written scientific communication
Applicants coming from underrepresented backgrounds are particularly encouraged to reach out!
In addition, we are looking to recruit an entrepreneurially-minded postdoctoral researcher to help drive scale-up and technology development for a new direct lithium extraction platform. The ideal candidate would bring process engineering experience, with particular strength in reactor design, continuous-flow systems, gas-liquid-solid mixture handling, and/or scaling electrochemical or electrochemically mediated separations. Experience in a fast-moving startup or translational R&D environment would be especially valuable as would experience creating technoeconomic analyses.
