We are seeking a motivated and collaborative researcher to support innovative energy-storage research at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and within Argonne’s Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division. The successful candidate will apply high-energy X-ray diffraction and related characterization methods to investigate battery materials and systems during synthesis and operation.
This role offers the opportunity to develop and deploy high-throughput hardware and software tools for real-time, operando characterization under thermal and electrochemical conditions. In addition to synchrotron-based experiments, the candidate may contribute to complementary in-house characterization efforts using techniques such as electron microscopy, computed tomography, and acoustic methods.
Key responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments; developing sample environments and experimental workflows; analyzing and interpreting large experimental datasets; and communicating research findings through scientific conferences and peer-reviewed publications. The candidate will work closely with a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team advancing next-generation energy-storage technologies.
