Postdoc Positions in Materials Chemistry / Mineral Physics, Arizona State University
We invite applications for two Postdoctoral Research Scholars to pursue research in solid-state chemistry, materials science, mineral physics and mineralogy. Successful applicants will perform sample synthesis using solid-state sintering, hydrothermal, and/or high-pressure methods, and conduct sample characterization by various techniques such as synchrotron X-ray scattering, neutron diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and calorimetry. Current funded projects focus […]
The First SEES Multigrain Workshop: More Grains, More Fun
SEES ran its first Multigrain Single Crystal Workshop at the University of Chicago on August 8-9, 2026, in conjunction with the 2026 SEES-FORCE Joint Meeting. Twenty-eight participants spent two days with SEES beamline scientists Stella Chariton, Vitali Prakapenka, and Dongzhou Zhang, covering the collection and analysis of single- and multigrain diffraction data. The program was […]
SEES at Goldschmidt 2026
The SEES team had a great time connecting with geochemists at the Goldschmidt conference in Montréal, Québec. Program PI Andrew Campbell and Associate Director Emily Padston staffed the exhibition booth, introducing attendees to the SEES program and how synchrotron user facilities can support their research. During our “Talk to a Beamline Scientist” hours, Kyounglim Kang, […]
Staff Scientist in Coherent X-ray Scattering of Geochemical Interfaces, Argonne National Laboratory
A new search for a staff scientist has opened in Paul Fenter’s group at Argonne. The successful candidate will lead efforts to leverage the unique properties of x-ray coherence to understand geochemical reactivity. The position can be at the level of either an Assistant Scientist or Scientist (similar to an Assistant Professor or Associated Professor […]
Senior Research Associate in Petrological Controls on Ore Genesis, University of Bristol
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol as a Senior Research Associate in Petrological Controls on Ore Genesis. This 24-month post is funded by a NERC standard grant investigating how copper is transported through the Earth’s interior in subduction zones to form porphyry copper […]
