The Heavy Elements Group in the Chemical Sciences & Engineering Division of Argonne National Laboratory solicits applicants to fill a postdoctoral position. The postdoctoral appointee will conduct fundamental research centered on the synthesis of new transuranium molecules and materials. Research in this underexplored area of the periodic table is aimed at discovering new structure-property relationships and exploring the periodic chemical properties of these elements to unite the rich and complex chemistry of the actinides with the remainder of the periodic system. The candidate is responsible for the synthesis and crystallization of new actinide inorganic complexes and materials from aqueous solutions and molten salts, their chemical and structural characterization using a wide array of techniques including single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopies, electrochemical measurements, and synchrotron based X-ray spectroscopy and scattering methods. Expertise in the application of synchrotron based X-ray scattering and spectroscopic techniques and their application to f-element chemistry, materials synthesis and solution chemistry are highly desirable. A knowledge of other characterization methods including optical spectroscopy, FT-IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy would be an asset. The successful candidate will join a dynamic group with complementary expertise in inorganic and physical chemistry, separations sciences, and condensed matter physics and will be provided with opportunities to participate and collaborate with cutting edge programs in machine learning and synchrotron studies. The applicant is expected to hold a Ph.D. with knowledge and expertise in chemistry or physics and is expected to possess excellent oral and written communication skills. The successful candidate will be responsible for working independently and as part of a team, developing experimental plans, performing experiments, analyzing data, and safety documentation. Additionally the successful candidate will be responsible for the preparation of manuscripts for open-literature, peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific meetings based on their research findings.
Position Requirements
Demonstrates strong motivation toward creative basic research. Specific expertise in one or more of the following: inorganic chemistry, aqueous solution chemistry, synthesis of molecules and materials using high-temperature and flux reactions, and structural determinations including x-ray diffraction. Demonstrates oral and written communication skills as defined by oral presentations at scientific meetings and publications in peer-review, archival, and scientific journals. Considerable experience and general knowledge in inorganic/physical chemistry. Demonstrates experience in one or more materials characterization techniques such as NMR, IR, Raman, TGA, or optical spectroscopy.
LLNL – Health And Safety Associate: Bachelor’s degree in Health Physics, Radiation Physics, Radiation Protection, or other scientific field or the equivalent combination of education and extensive related experience.

Dr. Shafer is seeking a post-doc. The project would focus on molten salt and materials chemistry of uranium, zirconium and lithium. Electrochemistry, materials science, molten salt and/or glovebox experience preferred. Ph.D. Required. The group has a demonstrated history of exciting research in areas of nuclear security, materials management and fundamental f-element science. Publications can be found here: https://www.shafer-radiochemistry.com/publications/ and more information on the group can be found here: https://www.shafer-radiochemistry.com/ For more information or to apply please see her ad below.
The Radionuclide Production and Molecular Radiotherapy Research Laboratories in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) develops and evaluates radiochemistry methods that can be applied to produce and purify therapeutic and theranostic radionuclides, as well as radiolabeling reagents/chelators for attaching radionuclides to biological targeting molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy. The research conducted is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. All of the research efforts are collaborative in nature, spanning from therapeutic/theranostic radionuclide production to clinical trials evaluating new radioimmunotherapy agents.
A Postdoctoral/Senior Fellow position is now open for application, with an anticipated start date of fall, 2019. The position has a focus on the production of radionuclides for use in the development of new radiopharmaceuticals. Opportunities to involve in other aspects of radiopharmaceutical development studies can also be available. The Senior Fellow will research cyclotron targetry, develop methods for the isolation of radionuclides of interest (e.g., Se-72 and Re-186) and conduct radiolabeling studies to evaluate various bifunctional chelators or labeling reagents for the incorporation of radionuclides into biological molecules. The Senior Fellow will disseminate research findings by presenting at professional conferences as well as publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals and will also assist in grant writing and on other projects on an as-needed basis. The initial appointment is one year, and the appointment is renewable depending upon performance and availability of funding.
Candidates should have a doctorate in Radiochemistry, Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry or a related field. High interest in radiopharmaceutical sciences, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a research team effort are required. Other highly desirable knowledge includes radiochemical separation techniques such as chromatography and extraction methods, radioanalytical methods such as gamma spectrometry, analytical chemical techniques such as HPLC and TLC, software packages and nuclear databases important in radionuclide production such as SRIM/TRIM and EXFOR.
For full consideration, please send a C.V., a brief statement of career interests, and contacts of 3 references to D. Scott Wilbur, Ph.D. (dswilbur@uw.edu) or Yawen Li, Ph.D. (liyw@uw.edu).
