Topic: Heat transfer

Tenure-track or tenured faculty recruitment focused on synthesis, processing and consolidation of powder-based metals and ceramics. Priorities include atomization, milling, heat transfer, solidification and microstructure evolution, with links to the Center for Alloy and Powder Synthesis. Duties include independent funded research, teaching, mentoring and service. The nine-month academic appointment is expected to begin 1 August 2027. Full consideration is by 30 November 2026, with later applications considered until filled.

Ethan Meitz and Jerry Wang discuss molecular simulation, heat transfer and the conversations that have shaped Meitz’s doctoral research. The episode connects computational methods with collaboration and mentoring, offering a practical view of research supported by the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship.
