Postdoctoral Research Associate - Materials Processing Group

Study how alloy design and processing affect the microstructure and mechanical performance of refractory and other high-temperature alloys for nuclear and space applications. Work includes fabrication, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and collaboration with alloy-development teams. The initial appointment can last up to 24 months; extensions depend on performance and funding.

A materials-science, metallurgical-engineering or related PhD completed within five years, with hands-on microscopy and understanding of processing-driven microstructural evolution. Three references are requested. Visa sponsorship is unavailable. Candidates must qualify for export-controlled access without an export licence and satisfy DOE access and federal identity/background requirements.
