Job Description Summary
GE Vernova Advanced Research is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to advance our computational and experimental capabilities. This role focuses on bridging the gap between fundamental materials modeling and industrial application. The successful candidate will apply multiscale physics to predict the performance and degradation of high-temperature structural materials, including Ni-based superalloys and Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs), as well as various energy-related materials. The role involves integrating simulation insights with experimental validation to drive the development of next-generation materials, including the optimization of existing materials for critical supply chains and the design of novel manufacturing pathways.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Develop and execute continuum-scale models to simulate material performance, transport phenomena, and degradation kinetics.
Partner with laboratory teams to characterize material properties, validate model inputs,
and correlate simulation predictions with empirical data from in-house tests.
Apply your knowledge in Mechanical & Materials engineering to work on cutting-edge solutions for the GE Vernova product portfolio.
Learn required tools/processes and perform advanced simulations, validating models against published external results and in-house experimental data.
Deliver on assigned project tasks with minimal guidance, document results, and provide actionable insights for material optimization.
Collaborate with the team to improve materials management, evaluate existing materials for critical supply chains, and enhance sustainability for GE Vernova products.
Perform literature surveys and assess the state-of-the-art landscape in material technologies, design, and manufacturing to guide R&D; project direction.
Apply AI/ML techniques to map processing-structure-property relationships to accelerate the discovery and improvement of advanced materials.
