Post Doctoral Associate - Energy Transport and Conversion

The Energy Transport and Ultrafast Spectroscopy Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland seeks a postdoctoral researcher for projects on nano- and macro-scale energy transport and conversion. The researcher conducts independent and collaborative research on thermal and energy transport across length scales, develops and applies advanced experimental thermometries and/or computational models, and mentors graduate and undergraduate students.

Full-time funded position; initial appointment of one year, renewable based on performance and funding; salary range $60,000-$65,000.

PhD in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or a related field; strong background in thermal sciences, heat transfer or energy systems; demonstrated research productivity; excellent communication and teamwork. Experience with molecular dynamics or first-principles calculations and/or thermal metrology, materials characterisation or pump-probe measurements is highly desirable. Application: cover letter, CV and list of references.
