About this position

The George Washington University, in partnership with the NIST Life Cycle Engineering Group, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow for the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This position focuses on Engineering for a Circular Economy, with a particular emphasis on Product Design for Microelectronics. The research will involve developing new metrics and measurement methods to integrate circularity assessment into chip and microelectronic design, utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), simulation, and AI-driven design to improve recoverability, and partnering with stakeholders to outline best design practices and support the development of new industry standards. The role also includes identifying data needs to enable end-of-life stakeholders, such as recyclers and municipalities, to recover more value from microelectronic products.

Key research areas include Circular Economy, Microelectronics, Product Design, Life Cycle Assessment, Sustainable Design, Systems Engineering, AI-driven Design, and Supply Chain Interoperability. The position is supervised by Professor David Broniatowski, a faculty member at George Washington University. Applicants should have a Ph.D. (preferred) or M.S. with a strong research record in relevant fields, a strong background in Sustainable Design Principles and Systems Thinking, proficiency in Python or MATLAB for data analysis, and familiarity with micro/nano fabrication processes. U.S. citizenship is required for this opportunity.

This is an excellent opportunity for researchers passionate about designing the future of sustainable electronics and contributing to the development of industry standards in microelectronics. The application process is open, and interested candidates should apply via the provided link.
