Door to the Future

Every year, MSEL receives more than 50 applications for NRC-NIST postdoctoral fellowships and 10 to 15 successful appointments. MSEL programs are significantly enriched by the fresh ideas and talent brought by NRC postdocs, who enjoy close interactions with a broad range of experienced researchers and access to world class equipment and resources. MSEL has nearly 200 postdoctoral research opportunities that span the materials spectrum, from metals and semiconductors to polymers and biomaterials. These include exciting opportunities in materials measurements for applications in electronics, energy, healthcare, nanotechnology, physical infrastructure and manufacturing. 

This video gives a brief description of the exciting opportunities for post doctoral research in the NIST Materials Science & Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) through the National Research Council (NRC) Research Associate Program.
