NIST Separation and quantitative measurement methods for micro- and nanoplastics in complex matrices

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The Nanomaterials Research Group (NRC) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently searching for a post-doctoral candidate focused on developing quantitative approaches to measuring micro- and nanoplastics (MNP) in complex matrices for human health applications, which includes MNP degradation effects on metrology development. The primary objective is to develop analytical tools capable of accurately and efficiently measuring size distributions of MNP from complex mixtures and matrices; and subsequent...

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.

Additional InformationLocation: Gaithersburg, MD. NIST only participates in the February and August reviews. The prospective hire would have opportunities to collaborate closely with internal and external partners focused on both focus areas and access to world-class instrumentation and facilities at the NIST Gaithersburg campus.
