Research Scientist - Ceramist
About the role
As a Scientist specializing in advanced ceramic materials and coating systems, the successful candidate will contribute to research and development efforts focused on the design, optimization, and qualification of next-generation ceramic coatings, with emphasis on thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. This role requires strong knowledge of ceramic materials, ceramic chemistry, coating architectures, high-temperature alloy systems, and degradation mechanisms in extreme environments. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of computational and experimental materials science to accelerate coating and alloy development through a combination of modeling, characterization, and laboratory-scale validation. This position is based in Niskayuna, NY and relocation assistance is provided.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to early-stage research and applied initiatives in advanced ceramic coating systems, including thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and related
