Additional Information
Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university that stands among the world's most renowned education institutions. With ground-breaking brain science, path-breaking performances, creative start-ups, big data, big ambitions, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we invent it. If you're passionate about joining a community that challenges the curious to deliver work that matters, your journey starts here!
As one of the oldest forms of applied science and engineering, Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Metallurgical Engineering was founded in 1906 and named after its emphasis on the study of metals. Since then, our field has broadened to include all classes of materials from ceramics and polymers to semiconductors and biological materials. Whereas early eras of civilization were widely identified by human's ability to work with new material (Stone Age, Bronze Age), today our abilities and projects span a variety of materials and combine everything from physics and chemistry to civil and electrical engineering.
Carnegie Mellon University's department of Materials Science and Engineering is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join Marc De Graef's group in the Materials Science and Engineering Department in the College of Engineering. The postdoc will make use of the experimental and computational tools in the Materials Characterization Facility to develop and employ novel techniques for defect characterization in solids. Core responsibilities include:
Core Responsibilities:
Expert on modalities in the scanning electron microscope (SEM): Electron Back- Scatter Diffraction (EBSD), Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), and other SEM-based modalities
Expert on modalities in the transmission electron microscope (TEM): conventional imaging and diffraction, STEM Diffraction Contrast Imaging
Develop workflows for in-situ thermo-mechanical experiments in the SEM
Conduct simulations for all the above experimental modalities using the EMsoft00 package and related similar software
Perform data analysis and visualization
Train and supervise masters and doctoral students
Coordinate research with external collaborators
Report and present results
Identify problems and obstacles to progress; develop strategies to tackle problems
Participate in writing high impact papers, reports, proposals, and training
Document procedures and workflows; curate and preserve data
Perform other related duties as assigned
Adaptability, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within Carnegie Mellon University. We are in search of a team member who can effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
