Description:
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL) Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division (EAEI) has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the team.
In this exciting role, you will be part of a small team pioneering novel material-based energy solutions and direct air capture techniques. The researcher will collaborate with the team to develop various material characterization and testing systems, as well as models within an RF/microwave environment. The research will also include creating digital twins of the experimental systems using finite element modeling tools to deepen our understanding of material response, adsorbate desorption, and bulk heating under RF/microwave environment.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Broader experience designing commercial/industrial-scale RF/microwave systems is a plus.
- Experience in configuring/testing/modifying experimental setup to achieve research goal is a plus.
- Broader experience working with H2 systems is a plus.
- Prior experience developing antennas, phased arrays, and cavities.
- Prior experience working on energy systems, decarbonization, and carbon dioxide removal.
- Keen interest in multi-disciplinary research to influence policy and technology development.
