There is an immediate opportunity for a post-doctoral fellow at the University of South Carolina to support a significant effort on the development and assessment of novel high temperature materials including structural materials and solid and molten salt nuclear fuels. The research involves developing thermochemical models for complex, multi-element systems to assess material behavior; contribution to the continuing development and expansion of a widely used molten salt thermodynamic database; and evaluation and modeling of materials compatibility in extreme environments. Experimental efforts include the use of a growing suite of instruments including a Calvet DSC; DSC/TGA; room, high temperature, and single-crystal XRD; and a variety of material preparation and testing methods. Extensive training is provided along with frequent opportunities for publication, conference participation, and workshop attendance. There is also the possibility of on-site work with collaborators at one or more U. S. Department of Energy national laboratories.

The positions require a PhD in chemistry, physics, materials science, or engineering, with experience in high temperature materials being helpful.

For further information, or to provide a CV for consideration to Prof. Ted Besmann, Director of the General Atomics Center (besmann@sc.edu)

In addition, it will speed the process if applicants as well respond to the university posting at https://uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/175253
