Job description

Offer DescriptionThe postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for synthesizing new extractant molecules for the selective extraction of lithium from brines. They will formulate a liquid-liquid extraction solvent and study its physicochemical properties. Based on these physicochemical data, the postdoctoral researcher will acquire information on the selected extraction solvent in order to design a process scheme for extracting lithium from brines.Organic synthesis
