Postdoctoral Position in Materials for Circuit Breaker Contacts

A post-doctoral position is available immediately within the Institute
of Materials Science at the University of Connecticut to work on
metallic alloys and metal-matrix composites for electrical circuit
breaker contacts. This project is an industrial collaboration sponsored
by GE Energy Industrial Solutions of Plainville, CT. Candidates should
have a strong background in physical metallurgy and experience in
microstructural characterization (particularly transmission electron
microscopy). Prior experience in electrical property measurements and
computational modeling (first principles and/or thermodynamic) would
also be beneficial. This position is a one-year appointment, renewable
for a second year.

To apply please send: a resume, a list of publications, and contact
details for 3 references to Dr. Mark Aindow (m.aindow@uconn.edu).
Screening of applications will begin immediately, and will continue
until the position is filled. We encourage applications from
under-represented groups, including minorities, women and people with
disabilities.
