About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Infrastructure Materials Group, is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to join the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This position is part of the Advanced Metrology for Novel Infrastructure Materials initiative, focusing on the development and standardization of low-carbon binders such as Type IL and Calcium Sulfoaluminate cements. The role bridges fundamental geochemistry and applied standardization, addressing the evolving needs of the construction industry as traditional building codes become outdated.

Key research areas include pore solution characterization, standardizing XRF techniques to connect microstructural development with macro-scale transport, durability modeling using thermodynamic tools like GEMS and PHREEQC, and uncertainty quantification through Bayesian inference for service-life predictions. The impact of this research will be realized through actionable proposals for ASTM and ACI committees, contributing to the next generation of sustainable infrastructure standards.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Civil Engineering, or Materials Science, with a strong background in pore solution chemistry and transport properties. Experience with analytical techniques such as XRF, XRD, TGA, and isothermal calorimetry is essential. U.S. citizenship is preferred. The position is based in Washington, DC, United States, and offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of research and industry standards.

Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all qualifications. For more information, contact Professor David Broniatowski at George Washington University.
