NIST is seeking a Materials Characterization Researcher to conduct cutting-edge research to characterize materials evolution during advanced manufacturing processes. In this role, your research will advance high-speed X-ray diffraction analysis and simulation modeling to characterize materials evolution during advanced manufacturing processes. This notice is issued under direct-hire authority to recruit new talent to occupations for which NIST has a severe shortage of candidates.
NIST's Material Measurement Laboratory conducts measurement science research to benefit industries based in the chemical, biological, and material sciences, and contributes technical expertise to the development of standards. Within this division, the Materials Structure and Data Group develops and disseminates measurement science, standards, and technology for the determination of the structure of advanced materials; determines, compiles, evaluates, and disseminates key data and computational tools needed to establish the relationships between structure and performance of inorganic and hybrid materials and devices. As a Materials Characterization Researcher, you will: Plan research to characterize material evolution during advanced manufacturing processes. Integrate high-speed X-ray diffraction with phase and microstructure evolution modeling Generate structural and microstructural benchmark datasets Communicate microscopy methods and results
This position has an education requirement. Transcripts must be submitted to validate that the education requirement has been met. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted in the application package. However, an official copy will be required before a final offer of employment. Use of foreign education for qualifications. An accredited organization must evaluate education completed outside of the U.S. to ensure that it is comparable to education received in accredited institutions in the U.S. Click here to view a listing of accredited organizations from the Department of Education's website. A copy of the foreign education evaluation (containing the results with course-by-course listing) is required with your application.
