NANO-SCALE CALORIMETRY
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS SCIENCE
School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University
The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences seeks highly qualified applicants for a post-doctoral research position in experimental materials science. The successful candidate will participate in a project to design an apparatus for high-temperature calorimetry on nanoscale quantities of materials. This apparatus will be used to study phase transformations in complex ternary and quaternary materials systems.
Qualifications:
- A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related area is required.
- A working knowledge in one or more of the areas of vacuum technology, high-temperature design, silicon micromachining, data acquisition. Experience in several of these areas is preferred.
- Experience in thermal modeling with ABAQUS or another FEM code is desirable.
- Experience with materials characterization tools such as TEM, XRD, EDS, etc.. is desirable.
Funding for this position is available immediately for a period of one year and may be renewed thereafter. Review of applications will begin immediately and wil continue until the position is filled. Interested applicants should send a CV with a cover letter, the names of at least three references and a one-page description documenting their experience in the qualification areas 2-4 listed above. Applications must be submitted in a pdf format file via email to Professor Joost Vlassak (vlassak@esag.harvard.edu).
To identify the email as an application for this position, the subject line should contain the phrase "nanoscale calorimetry post-doc".
Harvard University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Applications from qualified women and minorities are strongly encouraged.
