Alfred University seeks qualified applicants to work in the area of ultra high temperature ceramic synthesis, processing and characterization. The project spans 5 individual project areas, with postdoctoral research associates needed with the following skillset:
 

+ Additive manufacturing of carbide ceramics with Al/ML optimization (1 or 2 openings)

+ Candidates with experience in materials science, mechanical engineering and related fields will perform additive manufacturing of ceramics and composites with feedback control. The successful candidate(s) will extend our well-established direct-write (robocasting) extrusion-based 3D printing methods to:

+ include active machine learning/image processing feedback controls,

+ improve on synthesis and processing of colloidal materials

+ explore new 3D printing methods for different materials (ceramics, composites)

+ perform characterization and properties measurements of the printed pa...
