Position description
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley seeks an Assistant Project Scientist to work with Professor Ritchie and Professor Asta to assist in the premier experimental work in our DOE-funded research program on Damage-Tolerance of Structural Materials.
The successful candidate will be in charge of experimental studies, specifically mechanical testing and microscopy at cryogenic to elevated temperatures (in particular, J-based resistance-curve measurements), and the involvement of the supervision of students. The candidate will oversee the development of mechanical testing capabilities in extreme conditions, particularly J-based resistance-curve measurements at extremely high temperatures (>1473 K), extremely low temperatures (< 77 K), and high strain rate deformation (106 /s).
The candidate will also play a major role in writing the papers and giving technical presentations based on this work.
