Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a full-time subcontractor in Lemont, Cook County, to support advanced battery materials research within the laboratory's Materials Engineering Research Facility (ANL-MERF). This on-site role contributes to next-generation sodium-ion battery development.

About the Role

This subcontractor position pairs a Virginia Tech doctoral researcher, Changgyu Seok, with Argonne National Laboratory's ANL-MERF team to advance work on the DOE-TTO funded LENS project. Working under the direction of Dr. Ozge Kahvecioglu, the appointee will focus on refining processing methods and characterizing materials for sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathodes derived from low-cost precursors. The role is based at the Lemont, Cook County facility and is not remote.

Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize calcination processes used to produce sodium-ion battery cathode materials.
  • Conduct in-situ characterization to monitor and understand material behavior during synthesis.
  • Support the LENS project objectives in coordination with the ANL-MERF research group.
  • Collaborate with Dr. Ozge Kahvecioglu and laboratory staff to document and share findings.

Qualifications

  • Active enrollment as a PhD student (this appointment is designated for Changgyu Seok of Virginia Tech).
  • Background relevant to materials science, electrochemistry, or battery cathode engineering.
  • Familiarity with calcination methods and in-situ characterization techniques.
  • Ability to work on-site full-time at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Cook County.
