The research activities have been focused on the areas of materials for transport, energy, and health care and the Institute has state-of-the-art facilities for processing, characterization and simulation of advanced materials.
More information can be found at our webpage.
Advanced characterisation techniques based on in situ electron back-scatterer diffraction and high-resolution digital image correlation in combination with diffraction contrast tomography will be used to analyze the deformation and fracture micromechansims of advanced Mg alloys.
The candidate should hold a BEng/MSc in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physical Metallurgy or related field.
Fluent written/spken english is mandatory
Experience of mechanical characterisation as well as microcopy techniques will be valued.
Contract will full social security coverage until the end of 2024.
Applications will be evaluated in a "first come, first served" until one candidate is selected and accepts.
Applications are processed upon reception. The position might be closed once ten working days have passed since publication, so we encourage early application.
