Postdoctoral Research Associate : Materials for Emerging Technologies
Location:
Knoxville, TN
Description:
Requisition Id12412 Overview: As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an extraordinary 80:year history of solving the nation's biggest problems. We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,000 people Our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL's broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for the nation. We are seeking a Postdoctoral researcher: materials for emerging technologies who will focus on working with multi:disciplinary teams to develop new materials for emerging technologies. The complex thermo:mechanical gyrations and thermal signatures in different processes result in unique microstructures and properties. A strong background in physical metallurgy of steels will be important for this position to correlate the process:microstructure:property relationships. This position resides in the Materials for Advanced Manufacturing Group in the Materials Science and Processing Section, Materials Science and Technology Division, Physical Sciences Directorate, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). As part of our team, you will work with a multi:disciplinary team of research and technical staff at ORNL to characterize steels like H13, Stainless steel 316, Grade 91 steel fabricated using different techniques like laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), directed energy deposition (DED), and powder metallurgy. The focus will be on determining the underlying phase transformation pathways and their impacts on the material properties as well as development of appropriate post:process heat treatments. Major Duties/Responsibilities: : Conduct characterization of different steels processed via a host of technologies like LPBF, DED and powder metallurgy using scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD): Mechanical characterization like hardness and tensile testing. : Engaging with researchers and technical staff to understand the nuances of different processes and advice on future steps based on materials characterization.: Publishing the findings in high:quality papers, writing reports, and disseminating the information in technical conferences.: Safe conduct of research in line with ORNL's Safe Conduct of Research (SCoR) principles.: Deliver ORNL's mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility by fostering a respectful workplace : in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success. Basic Qualifications: : A PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, or a related field completed within the last 5 years. Preferred Qualifications: : A strong background in the physical metallurgy of steels: Metallographic preparation of samples: Independent operation of microscopes and hardness testers : A background in thermo:kinetic calculations to understand phase evolution.: Ability to use and interpret data from digital image correlation to understand strain evolution and partitioning during tensile testing: Background in different processing routes like additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy is desirable: Excellent written and oral communication skills : Motivated self:starter with the ability to work independently and to participate creatively in collaborative teams across the laboratory : Ability to function well in a fast:paced research environment, set priorities to accomplish multiple tasks within deadlines, and adapt to ever ch
