JOB TITLE
Post-Doctoral Fellow
LOCATION
Worcester
DEPARTMENT NAME
Mechanical Engineering – NFR JM
DIVISION NAME
Worcester Polytechnic Institute – WPI
JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
The iMdc program is searching for post-doctoral fellows to increase the number and diversity of projects in our research portfolio, with emphasis on advanced manufacturing technologies for high-integrity applications.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The successful candidate will be engaged in conventional and advanced materials manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing, cold spray fabrication, friction stir welding, and cast and wrought alloy processing, including high-entropy alloys. The candidate will perform advanced experimental investigations and computational modeling to simulate these processes (thermal histories, microstructure evolution, etc.), evaluate fatigue and high temperature performance and damage/failure mechanisms occurring in these materials, and optimize the materials and manufacturing processes for high-integrity applications. The candidate should have extensive knowledge of materials science (fatigue, thermo-mechanical fatigue, and creep, fracture mechanics and life predictions, materials processing and microstructures, dislocation mechanisms, stress analysis), experimental
