FSU's Equal Opportunity Statement can be viewed at: http://www.hr.fsu.edu/PDF/Publications/diversity/EEO_Statement.pdfResponsibilities The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) is seeking a research faculty member to undertake research and development (R&D) of high-strength conductors and reinforcement materials for building the next generation of ultrahigh field magnets. The MagLab is the world’s premier magnet laboratory with state-of-the-art high magnetic field facilities and has a history in development and application of high strength materials for high field magnets. The incumbent will enhance the efforts on high-strength material development activities in the MagLab so that new generation of ultrahigh field magnets can be built for users. The work scope includes development of high strength copper-alloy conductors, development of fabrication procedures for pre-industrial manufacturing of these conductors, development of testing methods related to mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, characterization and theoretical modeling of these materials. This person will conduct in-depth research on strengthening mechanisms of high strength materials and address the need for next generation of pulsed, resistive and superconducting magnets. Initially the primary focus will be on high strength materials for pulsed magnets. This can be later extended to other types of conductors for high field magnets. The scope of this position can also include development of high strength fibers and high strength structural materials, research for in-house R&D programs, as well as research in cooperation with other research and industrial partners. Some international travel may be required.Qualifications PhD in Material Science with at least two years of experience relevant to high strength composite conductors.

Knowledge on high-strength materials, and hands-on experience in material characterization, conductor fabrication, and material property modeling. The characterization includes mechanical property tests (tensile, fatigue, and fracture toughness tests), electrical conductivity characterization as a function of testing temperature and fabrication parameters, and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The fabrication includes alloy casting, deformation, and heat-treatments.

Excellent track record of high quality research as shown by high quality scientific publications in the field.Preferred Experience in material deformation at cryogenic condition and in high magnetic fields is a plus.Contact Info For additional information, contact Bettina Roberson at roberson@magnet.fsu.edu.Pay Plan This is a Faculty position.Soft Money Funded Position This is a soft money funded position, with renewal based on available funds and the needs of the University.Criminal Background Check This position requires successful completion of a criminal history background check, to include fingerprinting. The background check will be conducted as authorized and in accordance with University Policy 4-OP-C-7-B11.How To Apply If qualified and interested in a specific Faculty job opening as advertised, apply to Florida State University at https://jobs.fsu.edu.
