Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Civil and Environmental Engineering-Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), to join an interdisciplinary group that studies the microtexture, micromechanics, chemistry, and electrochemistry of cement-based materials. This work is focused at the intersection of advanced microspectroscopy, nanomechanical and electrochemical testing, and modeling of multifunctional cement-based materials. Responsibilities include material development, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, nanomechanical testing, electrical property determination, and analysis of the results; lab management; interacting with industry sponsors in a variety of ways (webinars, seminars, talks, etc.); developing links with other groups at MIT working in materials science and analytical and experimental electrochemistry; interfacing with the greater CSHub group in a shared working environment and in group meetings; and interfacing with the greater cement science and engineering mechanics communities.
