Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The candidate will write technical reports based on archived material samples and collaborate with researchers to document material science findings. Additionally, they will perform mechanical evaluations and characterization of ceramic powders in a laboratory setting.
Requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree in materials science or ceramic engineering with 4-7 years of relevant experience. Must be able to obtain a DOE clearance and pass substance abuse and polygraph testing.
Requisition Id 16741
Overview:
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a ceramist, ceramics engineer, or material scientist with strong technical writing skills and demonstrated laboratory skills in mechanical testing and characterization of multifaceted material powders.
This Technical Professional position will directly support the Program Director, Deputy Director, and team of principal investigators with new and existing projects. In this role, the selected candidate will interact with, support, and collaborate with a diverse multi-disciplinary team of research professionals, assisting in the characterization of complex material mechanical responses of ceramic powders and similar material science research. As a very significant effort and as a way to familiarize the selected candidate with the breadth and depth of the team’s research, the selected candidate will be responsible for writing technical reports from partial documentation and from archived material samples, working with the original researchers to ensure that the technical reports adequately and fairly represent the work performed. This will involve close collaboration with the original researchers to solicit their feedback and comments on the written documentation and to incorporate said feedback into the documentation. The selected candidate will also work closely with a dedicated technical editor, who is responsible for editing and formatting all of the work products. The selected candidate will interface extensively with the program office’s dedicated records management team, ensuring that the documentation produced is archived on the appropriate system(s) of record. Finally, the selected candidate will interface with the ORNL publication review and clearance processes including RESolution.
Because most of the technical information relates to ceramic materials, material processing, material characterization, and mechanical testing, the selected candidate will also support the ongoing material science work in the laboratory, conducting materials science research including mechanical property testing and characterization in organizing coordination with the other team members. The share of hands-on laboratory work will likely increase as the selected candidate gains familiarity with the prior work through the development of previously described technical reports.
This position resides in the Ceramics and Ceramic Composites (CCC) Group, Materials Processing Science (MPSE) Section of the Materials Science and Technology Division (MSTD), Physical Sciences Directorate (PSD) and involves collaboration with ORNL's National Security Sciences Directorate's Nuclear Nonproliferation Division. The individual will also interact and coordinate with other team members in other ORNL Research Divisions.
