About this position
The Ohio State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Edison Joining Technology Center in Columbus, Ohio. The project centers on metallurgical phenomena related to welding and additive manufacturing in advanced alloys, with particular attention to weldability, printability, service performance, and failure mechanisms.
The postdoctoral researcher will combine experimentation, advanced metallurgical characterization, and computational modeling to quantify materials properties and support alloy development. The work will address compositional optimization of welding and additive manufacturing consumables and structural alloys, as well as the behavior and failure of welds and additive manufacturing components made from advanced alloys.
Responsibilities include preparing research results for sponsor reports and scholarly publications, presenting findings at academic and industry conferences, and contributing to evaluation activities involving weldability, printability, physical simulations, metallurgical characterization, and mechanical testing. The scholar will also train graduate and undergraduate students and advise them on data analysis and interpretation.
The role offers a research environment connecting advanced manufacturing, welding engineering, materials characterization, computational analysis, and applied materials performance within Ohio State’s engineering community.
