Autonomous Material Processing Postdoctoral Fellow (Hiring Immediately)

Berkeley Lab's Energy Geosciences division is hiring an Autonomous Material Processing Postdoctoral Fellow to help transform how critical materials are produced.

In this role, you'll bring together machine learning, real-time monitoring, and thermochemical insight to build smarter, self-improving materials processing systems. Your work will help strengthen a sustainable domestic lithium supply while significantly cutting waste, water use, and carbon emissions.

You'll work side by side with talented scientists and engineers from national laboratories, universities, and industry, all collaborating to rethink how critical materials are produced - making the process cleaner, smarter, and more efficient.

This is an opportunity to help reshape how critical materials are produced - moving toward smarter, data-driven processes that are autonomous, scientifically grounded, and continuously improving. If you're ambitious, creative, and excited about building the founda...
