Postdoc Positions:
Postdoc Opening in Fluid-based Chemical Separation
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated full-time postdoctoral researcher to join our cutting-edge research project on fluid-based chemical separation, such as rare earth elements and isotopes. This project focuses on developing and demonstrating innovative methods to separate chemicals using fluidic techniques. This will include modeling the separation process, conducting prototype experiments, and validating findings. The researcher will also have opportunities to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams at Columbia University, leveraging expertise in engineering, materials, and fundamental science.
Qualified Applicants:
• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively within a research team.
• Strong technical and communication skills, with a track record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
Desired Qualifications:
• Expertise in experimental fluidics or liquid-phase separation techniques
• Experience in CAD modeling and fluid dynamics simulations.
• Experience in experimental design and hands-on prototyping using processes such as CNC machining, 3D printing, and manual machining.
• Programming skills in MATLAB or Python for data analysis and model development.
