Associate Materials Scientist
$94.49k - $147.4kArgonne National Laboratory
The Applied Materials Division (AMD) at Argonne National Laboratory is looking to hire an Associate Materials Scientist – Carbon Beneficiation and Separation. The AMD Division conducts applied research to develop innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of resource utilization; to minimize our dependence on imported materials; and to enhance our national security.
This research and development position will report to the Resource Recovery and Separations Department. The position is broadly focused on securing a domestic supply chain for critical materials, such as graphite. This candidate will join a team developing and testing material beneficiation, leaching, and separation unit operations, and will lead or help lead projects. The candidate should have a good understanding of mineral processing, leaching, separation, and characterization techniques. The project will involve R&D of different beneficiation, leaching, and separation technologies as well as pilot plant design, equipment installation, and operation. The main research focus will be on valorizing waste products from coal mining or production, including coal fines or slurries, to produce graphite precursor materials. The beneficiation work will likely include processes such as froth flotation and gravity separation while separation efforts may involve leaching, solvent extraction, ion exchange, electrodialysis, membrane separation, and crystallization or precipitation.
The successful candidate should have experience with processing, leaching, separating, and characterizing different forms of carbon. This person will support a project focused on purifying carbon from legacy mine waste or coal byproducts and investigate the opportunity to create value-added products from a process.
Position Requirements
