The Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia is seeking to fill a postdoctoral research associate position studying the environmental degradation of materials in aqueous electrolytic environments.
The successful candidate, under general oversight of the principal investigator and in collaboration with industry sponsors, will utilize laboratory and field studies to assess the electrochemical and corrosion behavior of additively manufactured alloys, including the analysis of samples submitted for analysis by collaborators. In addition, the successful candidate will contribute to the assessment of models to determine the extent of localized corrosion of these alloys. Additional Responsibilities include managing laboratory facilities, performing measurements, updating equipment, developing procedures for operation and safety, supporting undergraduate and graduate research, and fielding questions regarding procedures. The successful applicant will also participate in guiding students in the measurements and analysis of their data as well as helping to draft proposals, reports, and research papers. The appointment will be for one year, renewable pending satisfactory performance and funding.
QUALIFICATION REQUIRMENTS: A Ph.D. degree in Materials Science or a related field is required by the start date. Applicants must be familiar with most or all of the following research areas: electrochemistry, materials characterization (including optical and scanning electron microscopy, XPS, electrochemical techniques, optical profilometry, and scanning electrochemical microscopy), concentrated solution chemistry modeling, FEM modeling (preferably with COMSOL), and analytical modeling. In addition, strong technical aptitude and working knowledge of electrochemistry, materials science, and corrosion science is required. Good oral and written communication skills, as well as attention to detail and good record-keeping, are essential.
