Description

MagnIM is the highly interdisciplinary European network (material scientists, physicists, biologists, (bio)chemists, surface chemists and medical doctors) of eight partners from six countries which aims at the development of biodegradable magnesium based implant materials. It is coordinated by HZG, therefore all applications have to be send to personal@hzg.de.
MagnIM offers first class scientific and complementary training to coach experts to be who learn to work across disciplines.
MagnIM expects high motivation to work on an interdisciplinary field, extraordinary communication skills and the readiness to work at different host institutions.
Note: Eligible applicants have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree and are in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This includes the period of research training, starting at the date of obtaining the degree which would formally entitle the eligible candidate to embark on a doctorate either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country of the host organisation. Additionally, at the time of recruitment by the host organisation the successful candidate must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of the host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.
Your application should consist of
- a CV which explains the scientific education
- a list of courses which were attended during university
- a list of skills which were acquired during university or elsewhere
- a documentation of your English skills (f.e. by a TOEFL, IELTS or an equivalent test)
- List of publications
Only email applications which supply the demanded reference (WP1_1) and documents will be considered.
job description:
The research topic is the development and optimization of magnesium alloys for implant applications. The applicant has to produce and to characterize materials with respect to the influences of composition and processing on microstructure and the property profile. He/she is able to work independent and to apply standard methods to characterise microstructure and properties of magnesium alloys. Additional knowledge in the area of constitution of alloys is requested. The applicant has also to interact with the other partners in the project and to coordinate his/her own work with the project partners.
