Posting Summary
Description: The Riman Research Group at Rutgers University is seeking research candidates to join a multidisciplinary team focused on sustainable materials manufacturing technology. Candidates will work with startups and large corporations developing hydrothermal-synthesis and -low-temperature densification manufacturing processes for commercial manufacturing of building and infrastructure materials, advanced composite materials (ACMs), and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Several but not all positions are available immediately.
Requirements: The candidates must have a Ph.D. in one or more of the following fields: chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, minerals processing, ceramics, polymers, and powder metallurgy. Candidates must have postdoctoral experience in industry or academia. Strong analytical problem-solving skills, project management, communication, and collaboration skills are required. Candidates should possess skills in two or more of the following areas: hydrothermal synthesis, powder processing, densification methods, thermodynamics & kinetics simulations, materials characterization, and structure-property relationships.
Submission requirements: To apply, send your credentials by email. Please indicate “Sustainable Materials” in the subject line of your email. Include a cover letter that includes your approximate date of availability, resume/CV,at least three reference letters, and three papers to Professor Richard E. Riman, Department of MSE, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 848-445-4946, riman@rutgers.edu.
