Postdoctoral Appointee – Mechanical Engineering
The Applied Materials Division at Argonne National Laboratory has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Appointee. The candidate will be responsible for reviewing and developing design methods and models for high-temperature structural materials, such as metals and ceramics, with applications in nuclear reactors, concentrating solar power, thermal energy storage, and other energy systems.
The candidate will collaborate with ANL staff to review, validate, and enhance methods for predicting the reliability of high-temperature structural components.
This involves working with various continuum damage mechanics models and statistical reliability models (e.g. Weibull failure models).
Materials of interest include high-temperature alloys, ceramics, and ceramic matrix composites. The goal is to enhance engineering methods for designing safer and more reliable components.
The researcher will also contribute to technical reports, conference papers, and journal publications, and present findings at technical conferences.
Position Requirements
The prospective candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, materials science, civil engineering, structural engineering, or a closely related field.
Experience with finite element simulations and developing constitutive models.
Background in fracture mechanics and ceramic reliability modeling.
Knowledge of engineering design codes such as the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, API standards, R5, RCC-MRx, or similar documents.
Coding experience in Python.
Skilled in oral and written communications and presentations at all levels of the organization.
A successful candidate must have the ability to model Argonne’s Core Values : Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
Preferred Qualifications :
Knowledge of high temperature creep crack growth.
Knowledge of high temperature subcritical crack growth in ceramic or composite materials.
Familiarity with the basic structure-property relations for more than one of the material categories mentioned in the job description.
Experience in engineering design, particularly for high temperature components.
Experience with the MOOSE finite element simulation framework.
