Title	Postdoctoral Fellow in Thermal Barrier Coatings
School	Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Department/Area	Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering
Position Description	Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work with Professor David Clarke on oxide materials for high-temperature thermal radiation barrier coatings and related materials. A PhD or equivalent in applied physics, thermal transport, mechanical engineering or a related area is required. The ideal candidate would also have experience in the design of experiments, should be comfortable with a wide variety of materials and, also, be able to conduct experiments independently. The successful candidate will carry out both experimental and modeling research related to novel high-temperature thermal protection systems and their thermal characterization. Responsibilities include preparation of publications in high impact journals and reports, mentoring of graduate students and collaboration with other groups. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, have a strong work ethic, be technically skilled and have strong oral and written skills. The position will be filled as soon as possible and will initially be for one year, renewable for additional years following exemplary performance.
