Rather than just highlight society’s problems, stories reported through the lens of solutions journalism show the responses to those problems, said Mikhael Simmonds, mid-Atlantic manager for the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit training organization. ➀ “Solutions journalism” seeks to reframe the way media cover issues. Experience with performing quantum chemical calculations and NMR simulations for determining NMR parameters of materials.► Video with Interactive Transcript 5 takeaways:.Materials synthesis and/or polymer formulation experience.Experience with routine and advanced solution-state NMR methods.Advanced interpersonal skills necessary to interact with a diverse set of scientists, engineers, and other technical and administrative staff within a collaborative research environment.Advanced written and verbal communication skills necessary to deliver presentations, prepare written reports, explain technical information, and provide advice to management.Ability to develop independent research projects.Advanced knowledge of materials structure-property relationships.Significant experience with maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of NMR hardware.Significant experience designing and conducting advanced solid-state NMR experiments to characterize complex materials.PhD in Chemistry, Geochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, or a related field or the equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

DOE Q-level security clearance which requires U.S. Perform routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair on NMR instruments.Publish research results in peer-reviewed scientific or technical journals and present results at external conferences, seminars and/or technical meetings.Develop and present written analyses and verbal briefings that capture and communicate research results as well as periodic progress reports.Collaborate with scientists in a multidisciplinary and multi-institution team environment to accomplish research goals.Serve as the primary technical contact on the design and analysis of experimental tests to determine materials structure, physical properties, and degradation mechanisms.Conduct advanced research toward an improved understanding of the aging and degradation mechanisms of materials.Design and conduct complex experiments related to the characterization of materials using solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopy.

This position is in the Materials for Energy and Climate Security group of the Materials Science Division. You will be an integral member of an interdisciplinary team responsible for conducting and supporting research to understand aging and degradation mechanisms as well as structure-function relationships in a variety of materials used for industrial and energy applications. We have an opening for a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopist to independently work on the characterization of inorganic, organic, and polymeric materials using routine and advanced NMR spectroscopy.
