Research Assistant

Dhofar University SAOG

Project objectives:

This research focuses on microstructural analysis of steels, involving:

• Phase identification in low-and high-grade steels under different heat treatments and mechanical processes.
• Crystallographic orientation mapping using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to build a dataset for deep learning (DL) training.
• Selection and implementation of high-performance DL algorithms for phase recognition.
• Investigation of the correlation between microstructure and HE sensitivity.

Research Assistant (RA) position requirements:

We are seeking a highly qualified Research Assistant (RA) with a Master s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a closely related field. Candidates with backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering (Materials Focus)/Physics (Crystallography)/Computer Science (AI/Deep Learning for Materials Science) may also be considered.

Main Responsibilities:

• Compiling and analyzing data.
• Authoring reports, including analysis reports, literature reviews, and final project reports.
• Developing machine learning models.
• Writing research papers related to project findings for potential publication.
