Position overview:
The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has an opening for a postdoctoral Research Associate (RA) to use synchrotron-based X-ray tools at SSRL to characterize aqueous battery degradation for inexpensive, long duration grid-based energy storage. The work will study issues such as understanding and controlling metal anode deposition and stripping and mitigating corrosion on both anode and cathode. X-ray characterization tools will include X-ray microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray scattering. When appropriate, characterization will be done in as close to standard operating conditions as possible. Also, if needed, the project will include the use of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS).
The project has a strong emphasis on collaborative research thus the RA will work closely with scientists from other divisions in SLAC, Stanford, and collaboration at institutions across North America. The postdoctoral RA will have opportunities to cross-train in electrochemistry with these collaborators. The RA will also have the opportunity to publish lead-author manuscripts and to build a career in energy storage technologies, X-ray science, or a future teaching career.
Note: The Research Associate role is a fixed term staff position. Appointment duration is 24 months, with the possibility of extension. Assignment duration is contingent upon project needs and funding.
Applicants must provide evidence of either a recently completed PhD degree or confirmation of completion of the PhD degree requirements prior to starting the position. Applicants should also include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and names of three references for future letters of recommendation with the application.
