SHORT DESCRIPTION
IMDEA Materials is seeking a Master in Informatics/Data Manager to work on the project Unlocking Innovation through FAIR Data Practices in Additive Manufacturing and X-ray Imaging at IMDEA Materials (FAIR-LAB). This project aims to promote the adoption of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data practices in metal additive manufacturing (AM) and X-ray computed tomography (XCT) characterization. It will create a standardized environment for integrating the AM production process with XCT characterization, facilitating more efficient workflows and comprehensive data management. The candidate will oversee developing the ecosystem (hardware and software) for data integration, management and consultation. The development of a custom data management APIs and frontend will ensure the organization, accessibility, and reusability of the data for future research, enhancing the field of metal AM and promoting open science.
The candidate is expected to have a solid background in informatics, Linux system and programming skills (Python, Java, etc.), as well as the ability to handle system administration, and a strong commitment to developing his activity in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
OTHER DETAILS
IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering by attracting talent from all over the world to work in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
