Engineering a world of possibilities Post-Doctoral Researcher The Colorado School of Mines Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering invites applications for a post-doctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Xiaolei Guo . The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting independent research, collaborating with and occasionally mentoring undergraduate and graduate student researchers, participating in professional development activities, and contributing to project-related assignments as needed. The postdoctoral researcher will be fully dedicated to this project, with a primary focus on experimental research and laboratory execution. Given the collaborative and industry-oriented nature of the work, the candidate should be prepared to operate in a fast-paced research environment. Regular travel to Austin or Gramercy for several days of laboratory work and on-site meetings approximately every other week will be required. During alternate weeks, partner personnel will visit our campus, and the postdoctoral researcher is expected to be fully engaged in collaborative laboratory activities and project execution. We seek an outstanding individual holding a Ph.D. in chemistry, materials science or related field, with a focus on electrochemical recovery of critical minerals from molten salts. The candidate should have demonstrated experience in (but not limited to) electrochemistry, molten salts, and critical minerals. All candidates applying for this position should be motivated to work in an interdisciplinary framework and to interact closely with other team members at Mines and partner institutions. The candidate is expected to work independently, demonstrating initiative, strong organizational and written/verbal communication skills, and respect for project deadlines. The position will be located in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. It is expected that the candidate will have opportunities to interact with researchers from the industrial and federal laboratory communities, and to develop their skills and reputation to advance their career opportunities. Primary Responsibilities Engage in research activities of Guo group Conduct one or two research projects working with a high level of independence under the supervision of Prof. Guo Perform electrochemical recovery of critical mineral in line with the project(s) requirements Travel to partner sites biweekly and interact frequently with researcher partners Disseminate results at project meetings and through papers and presentations at conferences Help advise graduate students Additional Responsibilities Performs other duties as assigned
