Postdoctoral Scholar-Skillset 2

Alfred University seeks qualified applicants to work in the area of ultra high temperature ceramic synthesis, processing and characterization. The project spans 5 individual project areas, with postdoctoral research associates needed with the following skillset:

• Materials science, mechanical engineering and related fields, in order perform high-throughput synthesis and properties studies guided by machine learning.
• The position will center on data-driven high entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics discovery where the successful candidate will be expected to work to develop high throughput experiments to generate high-quality and reliable data for machine learning modeling.
• Un/supervised machine learning and deep learning will be used to train the algorithms and predict the resulting structures and properties.
• Selected compositions will be selected for further materials fabrication and characterization.
• The PDRA will work closely with faculty, other postdocs, laboratory technicians, graduate students and scientists from outside laboratories.
