PhD: Conductivity-Driven Eddy Currents in High-Temp Alloys

Emerging Scholars Council; Mississippi; On-site; USD 24,000 - 27,000; Full time

Job summary

Emerging Scholars Council invites applications for a PhD project focused on developing a conductivity-driven eddy-current framework to monitor microstructural evolution at high temperature.

The project is interdisciplinary, combining electromagnetism, materials science, and metallurgy, with emphasis on experimental work and data interpretation within the ASRC at WMG and the Frontiers in Electromagnetic Non-Destructive Evaluation Research program.

Qualifications

• Strong background in Physics, Materials Science, or Electrical Engineering.
• Interest in electromagnetism, transport properties, and sensing science.
• Willingness to perform experimental work and data analysis.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimise kHz–MHz eddy current sensors for high-temperature environments.
• Perform experiments and analytical interpretation to link conductivity changes to microstructural evolution.
• Collaborate with metallurgical characterization teams to interpret data within the ASRC/ WMG/FENDER framework.
