The project will involve using transmission electron microscopy (ranging from conventional bright-field/dark-field to atomic-scale chemical analysis) to examine the wear mechanisms at the metal/metal interface due to tribochemical reactions and surface fatigue. These tribochemical reactions result in the reaction of the metal bearings with the interfacial medium (e.g., synovial fluid) to form a layer which consists of a mixture of organic, ceramic and metallic constituents. The goal will be to determine the structure-properties relationship (mechanically, chemically) at the nanoscale during operation of the near-surface region of the metal, and determine the chemical changes taking place, in addition to dislocation structure development and grain-size, whether there is incorporation of impurities in the metal and whether segregation to the grain boundaries near the surface plays a role in the wear. The postdoctoral scientist will work collaboratively with other postdocs and students at Northwestern University who are working on more tribological aspects of the work, as well as tribologists and surgeons at Rush University Medical Center. A strong background in transmission electron microscopy with good competence in metallurgy is a requirement. Additional experience with biological systems and tribology will be a plus, but is not a requirement. Applicants should send a copy of their CV and the names of three referees to L-marks@northwestern.edu. ********************************************************************** 08/21/2009 Research Assistant TSS Consulting Ltd Research Assistant position, Boston area Question: I am searching for an MS in Material Science With XRD, AFM, EPD etc. who will provide support to a Sr research Scientist investigating the development of Photovoltaics.
