Jobs at the Molecular Foundry

Information about working at LBNL and complete application information is at: http://jobs.lbl.gov. Please follow the application instructions at the bottom of the job posting.


Deputy Division Director (#23314)

In partnership with the Materials Sciences Division Director, the Deputy Division Director is responsible for the short and long-term strategic leadership of the Materials Sciences Division.


 

Biological Nanostructures Facility

Chemist Postdoctoral Fellow, Nanoimaging (#23712) - Develop novel nanoparticles and imaging methodology for ultra-high resolution microscopy.

Biophysicist Postdoctoral Fellow, S-Layer Crystallization (#23713) - Use advanced fluorescence imaging techniques to study 2D crystallization kinetics at a lipid interface.

Postdoctoral Fellow (#23516) - Work with a cross-disciplinary team spanning the areas of synthetic biology and geosciences. The postdoc will explore both molecular- and nano-scale microbial mechanisms that affect formation of solid carbonates and microbes capable of surviving the extreme conditions of geological sequestration.

Nanofabrication Facility

Materials Postdoctoral Fellow, Directed Assembly of Nanoscale Materials (#23777) - Pursue directed assembly of nanocrystals using block copolymers or related nanostructured templates. (Position closely integrated with Organic and Macromolecular Synthesis and Inorganic Nanostructures facilities)

Nanofabrication Facility Director (#18997) - Lead innovative research programs and handle day to day management and operation of the Nanofabrication Facility.

Imaging and Manipulation of Nanostructures Facility

Staff Scientist (#22283) - Perform original research in the area of nanoscience, developing new imaging technologies, instrumentation, and materials. (*See note below)

Staff Scientist (#23583) - Perform individual, publishable research using cryo and in situ TEM, for the study of structure, assembly, and reactivity in both soft matter and hybrid inorganic-organic materials. (*See note below)

Postdoctoral Fellow, Nanomaterial Characterization (#23698) - Characterize colloidal semiconductor nanocrystal surface chemistry, structure, optical and electronic properties, at both the single-particle and ensemble level.

Theory of Nanostructured Materials Facility

Postdoctoral Fellow, Theory and Simulation of S-Layer Crystallization (#23711) - Develop statistical mechanical models of the self-organization of bacterial S-layer proteins.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Computational Spectroscopy of Nanomaterials (#23699) - Develop theoretical tools to simulate resonant x-ray spectroscopies as well as model ligand-surface interactions and kinetics.

Staff Scientist, Nano Dynamics (#20413) - Conduct a vigorous independent research program focused on the development and use of atomistic molecular dynamics and force-fields for the prediction of the dynamics of and thermal phenomena in complex nanostructures and assemblies. (*See note below)

Organic Facility

Chemist Postdoctoral Fellow (#23717) - Work at the interface between Supramolecular Chemistry, Organic Electronics and Nanoscience.

Materials Postdoctoral Fellow (#23696) - Synthesize and characterize inorganic or organometallic complexes and semiconductor nanocrystals.

Inorganic Nanostructures Facility

Materials Postdoctoral Fellow (#23697) - Perform quantitative analysis of surface chemical structure and dynamics and investigate the impact of surface properties on optical and electronic characteristics of nanocrystals and their macroscopic assemblies.

Postdoctoral Fellow (#23133) - Conduct research in the area of materials synthesis, characterization, scanning probe- and transmission-electron microscopy, and hydrothermal partitioning experiments.

Postdoctoral Fellow (#23527) - Develop materials for energy conserving and energy generating devices.

Postdoctoral Fellow (#23618) - Help launch a new program for synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and nanoelectronics applications.

*All Molecular Foundry Staff Scientists (a) design and lead an innovative personal research program, and (b) devote equal effort to research projects brought to the Molecular Foundry by its users.
