Job Description

The postdoc will carry out highly exciting and leading-edge research related to federally sponsored projects and other related activities, with an emphasis on ceramics and polymer-derived harsh environment materials. People with some polymer backgrounds are highly desired but those with only a polymer background will not be considered. The specific tasks involve the development of detailed research plans, implementation of the research tasks, and preparing project reports and journal manuscripts. The research involves the synthesis of different high-temperature and other extreme-condition materials, polymer-derived ceramics, modeling, simulations, and machine learning. They will also carry out property testing and characterization of different materials related to composition, phase, and microstructure, study the interactions and fundamental mechanisms of material behaviors in harsh environments, and develop theoretical understanding of the proposed research. The postdocs will be involved in research event planning, collaboration with researchers on and off campus, working with university personnel on lab-related issues, and assisting the research of undergraduate and graduate students. The postdocs will also help to develop grant proposals, deliver educational programs, and coordinate activities involving a number of project members.
