"Postdoctoral Associate"

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), to join a team to conduct research in support of the newly awarded Army Research Office sponsored Program to develop an Equation of State and Constitutive Thermodynamic and Transport Relations of ³He, ⁴He and ³He-⁴He mixture; and systematically develop equations of state and thermodynamic constitutive relations for the heliums (³He and ⁴He) and their mixtures over a temperature range from 10 mK to 300 K and a pressure range of 0 to 30 bar (where these substances are fluid). The project will also have a parallel effort to measure, catalog and characterize the transport properties of the heliums over the same pressure and temperature range. The successful candidates will work in the Cryogenics group at the PSFC. Two post-docs will focus on the Thermodynamic task, and two on the Transport task.

REQUIRED: PhD in Physics or Mechanical Engineering or related area.

The position will remain open until qualified candidates are hired. Candidates interested in the position should submit a cover letter that states which project they are interested in, their suitability for that specific project, and the date of their availability; a CV that includes a complete list of publications; and the names and contact information of three references. This material should be submitted as a single PDF in the resume field of the application.

This is a one-year position with the possibility of renewal depending on satisfactory performance and continued funding.
