Post-Graduate Research Position
Fuels, Engines, and Emission Research Center

Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge, Tennessee

The Fuels, Engines, and Emissions Research Center (FEERC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for a Post-Graduate Research Associate through Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). The successful candidate(s) will perform research on advanced diesel engine emissions control technologies and/or advanced engine combustion. Emission control research for diesel engines will likely have an emphasis on understanding the effect of chemical species produced by engine control strategies on lean NOx trap regeneration and deSulfation. Engine combustion research may include effects of fuel chemistry on advanced diesel combustion, HCCI combustion, and/or low-temperature combustion. A background in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or chemistry is preferred, although other disciplines might also be considered. ?Hands-on? experience with one or more of the following topics is desired: engine dynamometer testing, engine controls, diesel engine testing, combustion analysis, engine modeling, catalyst testing and evaluation, emissions measurement with conventional gas analyzers (chemiluminescent, FID, NDIR, etc.), particulate measurement, exhaust speciation with FTIR gas analysis and/or mass spectrometry, data acquisition systems (LabView, Cell Assistant, etc.). The successful candidate(s) will be expected to contribute to existing research programs and will have the opportunity to add valuable experience for career development. Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to work in a team are essential in this multi-disciplinary area.

Applicants are encouraged to visit the FEERC Web site at feerc.ornl.gov/ to learn more about FEERC activities, facilities, and personnel. The FEERC laboratories are located at the National Transportation Research Center (a joint research facility of ORNL and the University of Tennessee) in Knoxville, TN.

Applicants cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment. Expected duration of these appointments is one year with the possibility of an extension.
