posted 6 months ago
The Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) at Iowa State University is seeking a Research Scientist II to lead research efforts in Ultrasonic Testing (UT). This position requires a strong foundation in both theoretical and experimental aspects of UT, with a focus on elastodynamic field theory and computational modeling. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, designing, and conducting complex research projects that involve modeling, simulations, and experiments. The role includes formulating research methods, identifying potential problems, and recommending solutions to improve research quality. The Research Scientist II will also assist in writing publications and grant proposals, train and mentor students in UT techniques, and coordinate data collection and analysis. This position is integral to CNDE's mission of providing cost-effective solutions to industrial challenges through collaboration with government and industry sponsors. The candidate will engage in professional activities, prepare technical reports, and may supervise a small group of students on research projects. This is an intermediate-level position that requires solid professional skills and the ability to work under general supervision to achieve research goals.
