Posting Summary
This job posting pertains to a government funded research project on boride and carbide ceramics for Hypersonics applications. The candidate must have a doctoral degree in Materials Science and Engineering or in an allied discipline. A very good proficiency in thermodynamics of materials is essential and familiarity with Thermo-calcTM software package is preferred. The successful candidate will carry out modelling on phase and reaction equilibria in boride and carbide ceramics. The successful candidate will be involved in the synthesis of selected boride and carbide ceramics by arc melting. The successful candidate should have a strong background in characterization of materials using X-ray diffraction, SEM/EBSD and EDS, and IR/Raman spectroscopy. A thorough understanding of powder synthesis, processing and densification methods are essential. This position will begin in 1 November 2024. The appointment is for 12 months but
can be extended depending upon the availability of funding and job performance. Qualified applicants are requested to contact Prof. E. Koray Akdoğan, Rutgers University, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 607 Taylor Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854. E-mail: eka@soe.rutgers.edu. Phone: 848-445-4931.
Key Duties:
50 % 1. Thermodynamics modeling of borides and carbides
35 % 2. Characterization of materials
15 % 3. Supervising the characterization laboratories
What are the expected outcomes: Thermodynamics of phase equilibria in Boride and Carbide Ceramics for Hypersonics Applications.
How are the key duties performed: By carrying out computer simulations using advanced modeling software and providing guidance to experimental work.
