The posting

The Applied Materials Division at Argonne National Laboratory has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Appointee. The candidate will be expected to contribute to projects on development of advanced dielectric thermal fluids, lubricants, coatings and high temperature materials through modeling analyses, numerical simulations, experimental tests, and scaling-up approaches. The research focuses on improved performance for applications in various advanced industries, including high-power transformers, data centers, geothermal energy utilizations, etc.

The candidate will collaborate with Argonne staff to establish technical approaches to the development of advanced dielectric fluids for high-power transformers. Formulation techniques, mechanism analyses, multi-physics models, and experimental validations are required tasks towards the ultimate research goal. The candidate is also expected to work on a few other projects related to data center thermal management, corrosion-resistance coatings, and thermal energy storage systems. In addition, the candidate will contribute to technical reports, conference presentations, and journal papers.

Position Requirements

  • Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (typically completed within the last 0-5 years) in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Experience with thermal, mechanical, and electrical analyses and simulations.
  • Experience with thermal, mechanical, and electrical testing and related test systems.
  • Knowledge of various testing system principles, components, and structures.
  • Proficiency in oral and written communications and presentations at all levels of the organization.
  • A successful candidate must have the ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
  • This position requires an on-site presence at the Argonne campus in Lemont, Illinois, five days per week.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with fluids containing suspended nanoparticles.
  • Knowledge of thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance and testing of fluids under high-temperature applications.
  • Knowledge of experimental testing and characterization of materials
  • Experience with thermal and computational fluid dynamics frameworks such as COMSOL Multiphysics.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
