About this position
Post-Doctoral Fellow in Steel Corrosion Metrology and Service-Life Modeling at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
The George Washington University and NIST are seeking a post-doctoral fellow to join the Infrastructure Materials Group in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This opportunity focuses on solving the corrosion of steel in concrete through atomic-level, data-driven metrology and translating laboratory findings into high-fidelity service-life models that can inform national building codes.
The research sits at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, and civil engineering, with strong relevance to corrosion of metals, electrochemistry, concrete durability, and structural service-life prediction. The fellow will design fundamental electrochemical studies, use advanced characterization tools such as EIS, SEM-EDS, Raman, XPS, and OCP/LPR measurements, and help connect microstructural and electrochemical data to PDM (Point Defect Model) parameters and fragility models.
Eligibility highlights include a Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Chemistry, or a related field, ideally earned within the last five years. Applicants should have deep expertise in corrosion of metals, plus hands-on experience with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Mott-Schottky analysis. Familiarity with SEM/EDS and electrochemical testing protocols is also requested.
This is a research-intensive postdoctoral role with impact beyond the lab: the work contributes to standards development with ASTM and AMPP and supports resilient, sustainable infrastructure. The post does not mention a stipend, tuition, or other funding details.
Location: NIST Campus, Gaithersburg, MD, United States.
Application: use the provided application link to apply. No deadline was stated in the post.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
