Process Modelling and Optimization for the Synthesis of Multicomponent Ceramics

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

This research opportunity invites applicants to define a research program that optimizes the synthesis of high purity, high density, and nanostructured multicomponent ceramics. The aim is to achieve consistent and reproducible results by modeling key variables in the process, such as sintering curves, and identifying relevant mechanisms. The ideal candidate should have a background in ceramics and solid-state synthesis methods. Applicants will have access to experts in ceramic and nanomaterial synthesis, and a suite of equipment...

Grantor Contact InformationJames Wollmershauser, Phone: 434.466.3012Grantor Emailjames.wollmershauser@nrl.navy.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
