The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at the West Virginia University (WVU) anticipates filling Ph.D. and/or M.S. graduate research positions to investigate the fabrication and testing of high-temperature electronic materials for applications in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid-oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), and sensor applications using advanced processing methods to enhance performance and long-term stability. The project will be in direct collaboration with researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE). This appointment requires general knowledge of ceramic processing and properties. Since the fuel cell and sensor areas requires a combination of materials science, mechanical, electrical and physics/chemistry knowledge base, a candidate with a broader science and engineering background will be also considered. Projects will require the candidate to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists.

The position will start the Summer 2023 semester (starting before or on May 15th, 2023); therefore, review of all applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
