Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of Science [Chemistry - Thermal and Mechanical Characterization of Materials] - Dr. Pan?e Naumov | New York University - Military Veterans

The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi are inviting applications for a fully funded Post-Doctoral Associate position in the areas of thermal and mechanical characterization of materials. The candidate will work as a post-doctoral associate or a researcher in the Smart Materials Lab ( Naumov research group ). The role will involve preparing, characterizing and testing new smart materials, at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, and engineering. A strong background in thermal or mechanical characterization of surface and bulk properties of solids from either science (solid-state physics) or engineering (mechanical) is a requirement. The specific research projects will focus on both experimental and modeling aspects of the effects of temperature on mechanical properties, such as ability for elastic or plastic deformation. The candidate will conduct experiments related to assigned research projects, process the data, and prepare results for presentation in articles and conferences. Additionally, the candidate will submit biweekly reports on their research and participate in group seminars. Training students, such as capstone students or interns, and other researchers on techniques within their research domain is also part of the role. The candidate will collaborate with the staff of the Core Technology Platforms to receive training on available analytical techniques. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent degree in mechanical engineering, solid-state physics or chemistry, or materials solid-state chemistry. Candidates with experimental skills and/or modelling experience with characterization of thermal and mechanical properties, and with a strong publication record in engineering or science will be given a priority. For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests and three letters of reference, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Pan?e Naumov at pn21@nyu.edu . ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE ONLINE APPLICATION PORTAL; Direct applications will not be considered.
