Infrared Microscopy for Microplastics Characterization
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Infrared Microscopy for Microplastics Characterization The Material Measurement Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking qualified persons (U.S. citizens preferred) to advance a novel quantum cascade laser (QCL) infrared (IR) microscopy technique for high-throughput measurement of size distribution and chemical identification of microplastic samples. The position will harness a groundbreaking QCL-IR imaging of microplastics in water by addressing nontrivial measurement problems due to the strong IR absorption by water and strong scattering contribution at Duties Advance the instrumentation for high-throughput QCL-IR microscopy Collect and analyze IR hyperspectral images of microplastics Discuss progress and results with NIST staff Present results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders Write papers based on method advancements and datasets collected Required Skills, Expertise, and Qualifications Ph.D. degree in Chemistry, Physics, Polymer Physics, or a related field 2+ years of experience with IR microscopy Ability to analyze vibrational spectral data Strong oral and written communication skills Employment Terms This opportunity is to be a postdoctoral associate researcher in the Biosystems and Biomaterials Division at NIST for a term of one (1) year, with the potential to renew. Associate researchers are NOT Federal Employees, but they work alongside NIST researchers and with NIST’s world-class instrumentation. Relocation expenses will not be provided. U.S. citizens hired into associate positions may have the opportunity to seek longer term Federal Employment. An Associate at NIST is not a federal employee but collaborates with NIST on research projects of mutual interest and does not work exclusively on NIST mission-related activities.
