Surface Chemical Imaging of Commercially and Biologically Relevant Materials for Quantitative Analysis

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The intrinsic surface chemical characteristics of any material dictates how that material will interact with its surroundings, and how those intrinsic characteristics are modified by their surroundings can yield insight into transformed properties such as for solubility, adsorption, colloidal stability and surface reactivity. This research opportunity focuses on development of methodologies and tools for imaging these surface chemical characteristics by imaging X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (i-XPS) in conjunction with conventi...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
