Trainee Material Science Postdoc information

What is the difference between Trainee Material Science Postdoc vs Research Associate in Material Science?

AspectTrainee Material Science PostdocResearch Associate in Material Science
QualificationsPhD in Material Science or related fieldMaster's or PhD, depending on role
Work EnvironmentAcademic labs, research institutionsIndustry labs, manufacturing companies
Job FocusResearch, experimentation, publishingApplied research, product development
Experience LevelEntry to early careerMid-level, with some industry experience

While both roles involve material science research, Trainee Material Science Postdocs are typically early-career researchers focused on academic research and publishing, often in university settings. Research Associates in Material Science usually work in industry, applying research to product development and manufacturing. The qualifications overlap, but the work environment and focus differ significantly.

NIST PREP Postdoc Associate in Structural Engineering and Data Integration

Southeastern Universities Research Association

Gaithersburg, MD • On-site

$80K - $85K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.
A postdoctoral fellow is sought for a position in Structural Engineering to contribute to cutting-edge work on the development of a relational database for structural components. The researcher will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to create a unified database of the seismic performance of structural components to inform the development of future codes and standards. This open-source SQL repository will capture experimental and reconnaissance data on damage, capacity, and repair needs for various structural systems, with the potential to extend to other hazards. This opportunity is part of a high-impact research effort focused on advancing the science of seismic performance and data integration for next-generation codes and standards, directly supporting research transparency and data reuse in performance-based earthquake engineering.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Synthesize knowledge and extract design, response, damage, and repair data for structural components from experimental programs and reconnaissance reports.
  • Develop and manage a robust relational database focused on the seismic performance of structural components.
  • Develop consequence models for various structural systems to demonstrate the real-world application of the unified database.
  • Design and implement front-end tools or user interfaces to facilitate data accessibility for researchers and practitioners.
  • Leverage data analysis to unify underlying structural data used to develop design limits by codes and standards for functional recovery and other performance targets.
  • Develop computational workflows of U.S. building code design requirements to quantify the impact of proposed updates to building design.
  • Prepare high-quality research papers for peer-reviewed journals, and present findings at national conferences.

Qualifications
  • U.S. citizenship is preferred.
  • Ph.D. in Civil/Structural Engineering or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of the behavior of structural systems.
  • Strong background in both experimental testing and numerical analysis of various structural components and systems.
  • Strong understanding of U.S. codes and standards.
  • Proven experience in advanced data analysis and the development of relational databases (SQL database development required).
  • Experience developing and managing Python codebases in git.
  • Demonstrated capability or familiarity with developing front-end software tools and user interfaces.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Strong publication record in leading peer-reviewed journals.
