Two postdoctoral positions in green ironmaking!

The Davis Laboratory is hiring two postdoctoral scholars for DOE-supported ironmaking innovation.

Projects: Reducing iron oxides and iron ores with ammonia.

• One project, supported by the DOE’s Industrial Technologies Office, is exploring reduction of iron ore pellets with ammonia.
• The other project, supported by ARPA-E under the Revolutionizing Ore-to-Steel to Impact Emissions (ROSIE) program, is exploring reduction of iron ore concentrates, fines, and wastes with ammonia.

Requirements: A Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy, Materials Science, or a related discipline, and relevant laboratory research experience.

Responsibilities:

• designing, constructing, and operating chemical reactors;
• designing and testing gas recirculation units;
• analyzing the gaseous products of chemical reactions using mass spectrometry;
• analyzing the solid products of chemical reactions using SEM, EDS, XPS, AES, XRF, pXRD, or ICP;
• writing reports, proposals, papers, and presentations;
• working with, training, or supervising graduate or undergraduate research students;
• performing project management tasks;
• presenting work at meetings and conferences.

To apply: Contact luke.davis@tufts.edu with your CV and a cover letter explaining your interest in the position and your relevant experience.

Positions are available immediately; review of applications will continue until both positions are filled.
