    Job description

    The Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Group in Argonne National Laboratory’s Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division invites applications for a Postdoctoral Appointee position. This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop and apply new measurement capabilities for investigating chemical reactivity in water droplets using time-resolved optical and X-ray spectroscopy.

    The successful candidate will join a collaborative project with the Time-Resolved Research Group in the X-ray Science Division at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The project aims to establish an innovative approach for studying solution-phase chemistry with high temporal resolution.

    The Postdoctoral Appointee will lead the development of a novel laser-excitation scheme for solution samples delivered by a drop-on-demand droplet source.

    Key responsibilities:

    • Designing, constructing, testing, and benchmarking experimental instrumentation for time-resolved studies of solution-phase chemical dynamics
    • Developing laser optical systems and excitation strategies compatible with droplet-based sample delivery
    • Demonstrating the technique at Sector 25 of the Advanced Photon Source by conducting time-resolved X-ray measurements
    • Incorporating optical transient-absorption measurements, as appropriate, to complement X-ray studies
    • Analyzing and interpreting experimental results in collaboration with interdisciplinary project team members
    • Communicating findings through peer-reviewed journal publications, presentations, and technical reports

    This role is well suited for a creative and motivated experimental scientist who enjoys developing new instrumentation, working at the forefront of ultrafast science, and collaborating across disciplines.

    • Demonstrated experience and interest in developing experimental instrumentation
    • Expertise working with Class 4 laser systems and designing laser optical systems
    • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within an interdisciplinary research team
    • Interest in advancing the capabilities and applications of time-resolved X-ray measurements
    • Strong oral and written communication skills
    • Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork

    Application Instructions

    Please upload the following materials with your application in Workday:

    • CV/Resume including publications and presentations
    • Cover Letter
    • Names and contact information for three professional references
