POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), to join a team to conduct research in support of the newly awarded Army Research Office sponsored Program to develop an Equation of State and Constitutive Thermodynamic and Transport Relations of 3

He, 4

Heand 3

He-4

He mixture; and systematically develop equations of state and thermodynamic constitutive relations for the heliums (3

He and 4

He) and their mixtures over a temperature range from 10 mK to 300 K and a pressure range of 0 to 30 bar (where these substances are fluid). The project will also have a parallel effort to measure, catalog and characterize the transport properties of the heliums over the same pressure and temperature range. The successful candidates will work in the Cryogenics group at the PSFC.

Two post-docs will focus on the Thermodynamic task, and two on the Transport task.
