About this position

The Mechanical Engineering Heat Transfer Lab at the University of California Merced is recruiting two postdoctoral scholars for research in nanoscale heat transfer, focusing on experimental measurements and numerical simulations in micro/nanomaterials and their interfaces. The successful candidates will conduct experiments and simulations to characterize non-diffusive heat transfer, write research papers, and assist in supervising graduate and undergraduate assistants.

The position offers an annual starting salary between $69,073 and $82,836, is a full-time (100%) appointment, and lasts for two years. Applicants must hold a PhD in thermal science and engineering or a related field, with experience in thermometry and modeling, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills. Highly motivated individuals who can work independently are preferred. Candidates must be eligible to work in the US, as visa sponsorship is not available.

Application materials include a CV, cover letter, statement of research, and an Authorization to Release Information Form, along with contact information for 3-5 references. The application window opens October 6, 2025, with full consideration given to applications received by October 20, 2025; the final deadline is October 6, 2026. UC Merced is a leading public research university, recently designated as an R1 institution, and is committed to diversity, innovation, and excellence in research.
