Description
This postdoctoral fellowship opportunity at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) focuses on advancing Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for next-generation engineering alloys. The project aims to experimentally investigate the relationships between materials processing, microstructure, and properties in emerging alloys, providing critical data to calibrate and validate computational design tools. Research areas of interest include thermodynamics and phase transformations in high-temperature cobalt-based superalloys and microstructural evolution in additively manufactured materials. The fellowship supports bridging the gap between experimental materials science and computational modeling to enable more efficient alloy design.
