The American Ceramic Society
The College of Engineerings Department of Materials Science and Engineering is seeking a Full Time Post Doctoral Scholar.
The individual will be responsible for conducting both modeling and physical experiments of the structure and thermo-mechanical response of single and polycrystalline shape memory alloys; prepare reports, manuscripts, and proposals, advise undergraduate and graduate students, prepare professional talks and presents them at weekly meetings and at professional conferences.
Modeling involves knowledge of the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformations and also of finite element simulations of shape memory alloys.
Physical experiments involve differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical testing, and potential nanoindentation of shape memory alloys.
Required Education
PhD in Materials Science and Engineering or a related field
Desired Education
PhD in Materials Science and Engineering
Required Experience
Knowledge of and ability to apply the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformations.
Ability to modify and execute finite element simulations of shape memory alloys.
Ability to learn how to conduct differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical testing, and potential nanoindentation.
Desired Experience
Effective oral and written communication skills.
Evidence of mentoring UG students.
Availability starting January 1, 2026.
