Role OverviewThe Postdoctoral Research Associate will focus on developing a relationship between alloy design, processing, and microstructural characterization of refractory and other high temperature alloys. Key activities include materials processing, microstructural characterization using scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction, and mechanical testing.
What You Will Do
Develop processes for fabrication of novel high temperature materials using conventional and novel manufacturing techniques, perform microstructural characterization of alloys, and assist in correlating microstructure with processing and mechanical properties.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This position requires a strong commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of values and ethics, and the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively in a team environment.
Requirements
- A PhD in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or a related field completed within the last 5 years.
- Hands-on experience with microstructural characterization tools including scanning electron microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction.
- An understanding of materials processing techniques and their effect on microstructural evolution.
