Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004704)

Job Details

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

Salary: $89,000

Johns Hopkins University: Whiting School of Engineering: Office of Research and Translation

Description

PREP Research Associate
CHIPS Funded Project

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research.

Research Title: Nanocalorimetry Sensor Design and Fabrication

U.S. Citizen Preferred

The work will entail:

The Materials Measurement Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking qualified persons (U.S. Citizens Preferred) to join a multi-disciplinary team of scientists working to advance the current state-of-the-art in nanocalorimetry. This individual will work closely with the leaders of this multi-effort project but will personally be responsible for developing and fabricating new sensor designs optimized for a variety of applications, including characterization of thin film materials and in-situ monitoring of plasmas.

Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Work with other project team members to design new nanocalorimetry sensors for multiple applications
• Use Finite Element Analysis to model the thermal and mechanical behavior of new sensor designs prior to fabrication
• Fabricate sensors in the NIST Nanofab
• Utilize multiple techniques to determine the mass of samples prior to thermal analysis
• Perform nanocalorimetry experiments and conduct subsequent data analysis to extract material properties as needed
• Publish results in peer reviewed scientific journals and present results at scientific conferences.
