Functional Materials Beamline Staff Scientist at CHESS
The Materials Solutions Network at CHESS (MSN-C) seeks a Ph.D. scientist in the field of polymer composites, materials science or mechanical engineering to join our mission-driven team. The position is associated with the Functional Materials Beamline (FMB) at MSN-C, one of several beamlines built in 2019. FMB is one of two beamlines comprising MSN-C, an Air Force Research Laboratory-sponsored facility to support critical research and manufacturing needs within DoD and industry. A central goal of FMB is to support advances in the processing and performance of next-generation materials, ranging from structural polymer composites to functional thin films. In collaboration with MSN-C and AFRL scientific and technical staff, the successful candidate will support this goal by leveraging the x-ray characterization capabilities of FMB, including microbeam SAXS/WAXS mapping, GISAXS/WAXS, real-space imaging, and advanced computational and analysis methods.
