Job Description
**Job Description**
**The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Scientist/Engineer 2 to join their team.**
**About this Opportunity**
Reporting to Dr. Aniruddh Vashisth, the Research Scientist/Engineer 2 supports multiple research projects focused on: (1) developing novel vitrimer formulations and chemistries; (2) examining RF-enabled manufacturing and synthesis; and (3) investigating the structure-property-processing relationships of sustainable polymer systems.
**Key Responsibilities**
+ Experimental Research and Materials Characterization (50%)
+ Design, plan, and conduct experiments on vitrimer synthesis, fiber-reinforced composite fabrication, and RF-enabled manufacturing processes, including sample preparation, thermal and mechanical testing, and spectroscopic characterization (FTIR, DMA, DSC, TGA, SEM, XRD)
+ Perform mechanical testing and analyze structure–property relationships in p...
