The Post-Doctorate Research Associate (PDRA) role is primarily focused on the independent technical delivery of and leadership in the development of projects/activities related to powder processing and alloy development for AM within CAAAM. The PDRA will work with the faculty across various departments with an inter-disciplinary approach to AM. The primary responsibility of this position is to develop new powder processing technologies for alloys such as steels, aluminum-base, nickel-base, titanium-base, and refractory alloys, specifically for AM applications. Closely coupled with the AM powder processing will be development of next generation alloys and composites for AM. The selected candidate is expected to have experience in areas such as: processing of metallic/alloy powders, AM of metals and/or other powder-based manufacturing technologies such as hot isostatic pressing or spark plasma sintering of alloys/composites, alloy development including a strong background in physical metallurgy. The position is also expected to provide technical expertise and support to graduate and undergraduate students, assist/lead preparation of research proposals and scientific/technical papers and presentations.
