Overview:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will support the Diffraction group in the Neutron Scattering Division, Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work in synthesis, processing, and investigation of structure-property relationships of sustainable piezoelectric materials using neutron powder diffraction guided by density functional theory calculations. In this position, you will be expected to contribute to the development of methodology for improving the piezoelectric performance of polycrystalline ceramics using texture engineering approach, studying structure-property relationships of piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials using neutron powder diffraction, and synthesis of new sustainable functional ceramics guided by density functional calculations in collaboration with computational scientists.
You will join a multi-disciplinary team that is developing the design of sustainable materials for energy applications. As an ORNL postdoctoral fellow you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities for synthesis and processing of ceramics, electron microscopy techniques, as well as access to world class facilities for neutron powder diffraction, and density functional theory calculations. The position will allow the postdoctoral scientist to develop expertise, broaden experience and interact with a diverse set of scientists working at ORNL’s neutron, high-performance computing facilities, as well as the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences.
