美国阿贡国家实验室中心博士后职位---核燃料再循环

美国阿贡国家实验室（Argonne National Laboratory，简称ANL）是美国政府最早建立的国家实验室，也是美国最大的科学与工程研究实验室之一——在美国中西部为最大。阿贡前身是芝加哥大学的冶金实验室 (Metallurgical Lab)，现在隶属于美国能源部和芝加哥大学。诺贝尔物理学奖得主费米于1942年在此领导小组建立了人类第一台可控核反应堆（芝加哥一号堆，Chicago Pile-1)，完成了曼哈顿计划的重要一环，并且使人类从此迈入原子能时代。

Postdoctoral Researcher – Nuclear Fuel Recycling

Argonne National Laboratory

Job Description

The Chemical and Fuel Cycle Technologies division is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join a multidisciplinary team developing innovative processes for recycling nuclear materials for advanced reactors, with a focus on high-temperature electrochemical processes in molten salt electrolytes.

As a part of this team, you will:

·         Apply and improve pyroprocess operations such as oxide reduction at engineering- scale to support industrialization.

·         Develop and test new materials and electrochemical cell configurations.

·         Perform innovative experiments and electrochemical measurements (cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization tests, etc.) in molten salt electrolytes to advance the technical understanding of oxide to metal conversion and molten salt chemistry.

·         Improve understanding of the relationship between operating conditions and product quality.

·         Communicate effectively with supervisors, peers, and Laboratory management through status updates, technical research reports, project presentations, and other regular channels.

·         Develop technical ideas and proposals to advance the development of pyrochemical processes.

Position Requirements

·         Skill in devising and performing experiments to acquire data, using and maintaining research equipment, compiling, evaluating, and reporting test results.

·         Experience in electrochemistry, electrochemical engineering, or nuclear engineering.

·         Knowledge of fundamental thermodynamics and kinetics.

·         Experience with molten salt systems, actinide chemistry, or materials science is desired, but not mandatory.

·         Experience working safely with radioactive materials in engineering controls such as gloveboxes or hoods is desired, but not mandatory.

·         Strong interpersonal, written, and oral communication skills.

·         Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

·         U.S. citizenship is required for this position.

This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in chemical engineering, materials science, nuclear engineering, or related field at the PhD degree level with zero to three years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience.
