Dartmouth College:

Thayer School of Engineering Location Hanover, NH Open Date Mar 05, 2026 Description The purpose of this position is to advance the processing of nickel-based superalloys using directional recrystallization of additively-manufactured rods. The project involves detailed microstructural characterization of the additively-manufactured rods both before and after directional recrystallization. The project may also involve further the further development of the equipment used for directional recrystallization processing.

• Undertakes directional recrystallization processing of additive-manufactured rods of nickel-based superalloys that are produced by our collaborators. Determines the best processing conditions by undertaking detailed microstructural characterization of the rods. Undertakes further refinement of the directional recrystallization processing equipment. (80%)
• Authors or co-authors research findings. (10%)
• Presents findings at conferences (5%)
• Assists with writing grant proposals and obtaining funding (5%) Demonstrates a commitment to diversity, inclusion and cultural awareness through actions, interactions and communication with others.

Performs other duties as required.

Qualifications Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience in thermomechanical processing of metallic materials
• Experience in advanced microstructural characterization of materials particularly using electron backscattered diffraction imaging and analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis.
• Candidates from members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in science and engineering are encouraged to apply.
• Demonstrated research ability and vison, excellent written and spoken communication skills, and comfort working both collaboratively and independently.
