Position description
Postdoctoral position in In situ Ultra High Temperature Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Employer: University of California, Irvine
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
Anticipated Position Duration: 2-3 years
Job description: The Dillon lab seeks a creative, motivated, and collaborative postdoctoral scholar to work on the group's effort to study materials evolution at ultrahigh temperatures using in situ transmission electron microscopy. Our experimental approach centers around utilizing localized laser heating coupled with mechanical testing to investigate high temperature materials response in relationship to problems such as creep, sintering, and grain boundary migration. The approach enables more direct insights into the mechanisms governing defect behavior and materials response in extreme environments. Our lab has a dedicated TEM for performing this work along with picoindenter and other custom specimen holders for performing these experiments. We also have access to a variety of complimentary advanced microscopy tools at UC Irvine's Irvine Materials Research Institute.
The postdoctoral scholar will join a highly cross-disciplinary team of motivated researchers working on problems focused on how interfaces and defects respond to stimuli in extreme conditions. In addition to advancing their research skills, this position also provides valuable opportunities for professional development through active collaborations, leadership and mentorship development, scientific communication and writing, and proposal development.
