Path 1 Kawader: Research Assistant – Center for Smart Engineering Materials

Overview

• The Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM), New York University Abu Dhabi, are inviting applications for a
• Kawader fellows in the areas of thermal, mechanical and electrical characterization of materials.
• The candidate will work as a research fellow with the CSEM and the Smart Materials Lab (Naumov research group), nyuad.nyu.edu/en/research/faculty-research/naumov-group.html).
• The role will involve preparing, characterizing and testing new smart materials, at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, and engineering.
• A strong background in thermal or mechanical characterization of the surface and bulk properties of solids from either science (solid-state physics) or engineering (mechanical) is a requirement.
• The specific research projects will focus on both experimental and modeling aspects of the effects of temperature on mechanical properties, such as ability for elastic or plastic deformation.
• The candidate will conduct experiments related to assigned research projects, process the data, and prepare results for presentation in articles and conferences.
• Additionally, the candidate will submit biweekly reports on their research and participate in group seminars.
• Training students, such as capstone students or interns, and other researchers on techniques within their research domain is also part of the role.
• The candidate will collaborate with the staff of the Core Technology Platforms to receive training on available analytical techniques.
• The candidate should have a background in mechanical engineering, solid-state physics or chemistry, or materials solid-state chemistry.
• Candidate with experimental skills and/or modelling experience with characterization of thermal and mechanical properties, and with a strong publication record in engineering or science will be given a priority.
• The candidate will also work on individualized research projects under the supervision/mentorship of the supervisor.
