What You Will Do
MST-8 is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to support the study of materials under extreme conditions, particularly under irradiation. This position will focus on the implementation of data science methods to analyze the large and complex datasets generated using scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). The successful candidate will examine the local chemical, structural, phase, and electronic structure evolution of complex ceramics under irradiation and develop novel data analysis techniques of these datasets to extract the important insights on the local structure and properties.
The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a multidisciplinary team connecting ion beam irradiation, electrochemical analysis, synchrotron x-ray analysis, atomistic modeling, and advanced electron microscopy. The position will include hands-on experimental work, data analysis, documentation, and reporting.
