What are the responsibilities and job description for the Advanced High Temperature Materials Development for Energy Application position at Zintellect?
The National Energy Technology Laboratory's (NETL's) record of success has been built on understanding the future of energy and the technologies required to make that future possible. We’ve long touted our success in developing the technologies that took on acid rain in the 1970s and mercury in the early 2000s.
Program Goals
The NETL Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program (Postdoc) is a high-intensity program designed to identify recent Doctoral graduates of high promise and to foster advanced skill development. It allows the postdoc to systematically outline career goals and helps provide the means of achieving these goals. NETL principal investigators and leads serve as mentors to postdoctoral participants during the program. This interaction affords the postdoc a unique opportunity to develop critical skills needed to become an independent professional.
The program goals include providing the opportunity to participants to:
- Develop skills and knowledge in their field of study
- Engage with new areas of basic and applied research
- Network with world-class scientists
- Exchange ideas and skills with the Laboratory community
- Use state-of-the-art equipment
- Contribute to answers for today's pressing scientific questions
- Collaborate with the broader scientific and technical communities
Project Details
Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), this posting seeks a post-Doctoral researcher to engage in projects with the Research Innovation Center (RIC) at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in the area of Advanced Energy Materials under the mentorship of Martin Detrois. This project will be hosted at the NETL Albany, OR campus.
NETL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to collaborate a project within the Research and Innovation Center’s Materials Engineering & Manufacturing Directorate (MEM). The overarching project will focus on the design, development, manufacturing and testing of novel alloy candidates to provide technological solutions related to the need for reliable and affordable energy. The main focus area is related to Ni-based superalloys and new innovative designs that can operate in high-temperature conditions and demanding environments. The candidate will be expected to conduct research including characterization and data analysis to understand microstructure-processing-property relationships as well as writing technical articles and presenting at international symposia.
Stipend: The selected participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience.
- Post-Doctoral stipend is $8031 per month.
Deliverables: To document the effectiveness of the program, participants are required to submit a pre-appointment and post-appointment survey, as well as a reflection on their appointment experience when they renew or end their appointment. The reflection should summarize their project(s), additional activities, and overall experience. Details are provided as the appointment end date approaches.
Participants may also have the opportunity to contribute to manuscripts, journal articles, book chapters, conference presentations, posters, patents, and other publications as a part of their appointment. Such achievements should also be reported to ORISE; additional details are provided after an offer has been accepted.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory system, is owned and operated by the DOE. NETL supports the DOE mission to advance the energy security of the United States. This is an educational opportunity offered by NETL and administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. Participants in the program are not considered employees of NETL, DOE, the program administrator, or any other office or agency.
Salary : $8,031
