Job Description

NIST/BNL
High-Throughput Investigation of Chemical and Material Systems NIST, United States 5 days ago
Location:
Upton, NEW YORK Material Measurement Laboratory, Materials Measurement Science Division/Brookhaven Lab NIST only participates in the February and August reviews. This postdoctoral fellowship aims to study the relationship of structure and function in chemical and material systems by the integration of synchrotron X-ray measurement techniques with chemical processes and materials synthesis. The duty station would be at Brookhaven National Laboratory with the Synchrotron Science Group and involve occasional travel to Gaithersburg, MD. The candidate would be responsible for planning and performing high-throughput XAS, XRF, and XRD measurements mostly at NIST's Beamline for Materials Measurements, collaborating with scientists from NIST Gaithersburg, and developing work-flow and data-analysis tools for managing and interpreting these experiments. Examples of science to be investigated with synchrotron measurement tools might include: Compositionally complex alloys, such as metallic glasses or high-entropy alloys, where local disorder as probed by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy result in emergent material properties Machine-learning driven electrochemical deposition of coatings controlling surface properties of industrially relevant material surfaces where the machine learning is driven by in situ XAS, XRF, and XRD measurements
