You ‘d like to contribute as a researcher? Join our Materials Research and Technology department
Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.
The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.
How will you contribute?
As part of a Research and Technology Organization (RTO), the Materials Research and Technology Department develops Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) that underpin a wide range of products in strategic EU value chains and provide innovative solutions to societal challenges. MRT mainly addressed three EU KETs: Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials and Advanced Manufacturing. We are focused in research on “new or improved” materials that provide a distinct performance advantage in comparison to the commonly used materials. Activities embrace the development, production or integration of advanced materials and equipment or system dedicated to the synthesis and the characterization of such materials. KETs having applications in multiple industries in both emerging and traditional sectors, this approach is particularly suitable for Luxembourg. We partner with significant number of large, medium-size and small industrial companies covering a broad range of sectors (transport, electronic, energy, cleantech, glass, buildings, cosmetics, metallurgy, space, equipment processing/engineering, health tech and others etc.). MRT aims at being active all along the materials value chain (from Raw Materials to semi-finished to end-products) that includes advanced capabilities in mature manufacturing, and the materials integration into advanced product technologies truly enabling the industrial innovation. In that context, the core technologies leader plays a pivotal role.
The department MRT is currently composed of about 190 collaborators and is engaged into the following activities:
- a Research unit which focuses on “Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology”. The aim of this unit is to translate the enabling capabilities of nanotechnology/nanomaterials into application-driven solutions which take advantage of the functional properties of materials.
- a Research unit dealing with Instrumentation and process engineering in the fields of nanoanalytics instruments and surface treatments relying on process technology.
- a Research unit investigating functional and bio-based polymers including bio-degradable and recyclable plastics, macromolecular chemistry, responsive polymers and polymers physics.
- a Research unit studying structural composites materials with a specific focus on the design and durability of high performance and multi-functional composites based on advanced modeling expertise together with Interface engineering towards better performance and durability
- a transversal Platform regrouping Materials Characterization and Testing, Composites manufacturing and Prototyping, which provides access to state-of the art characterization in the field of Molecular Analysis / Elemental and Isotopic Analysis / Structure, Morphology and Topography / Mechanical Testing and Accelerated Ageing / Thermal Analysis/ Composites manufacturing / Specific Prototyped high-end home-made processes and equipment.
In the frame of industrial research collaboration, you will actively participate to the process-material-properties interrelationship identification and understanding, in interaction with the structural composite teams and the project industrial partners. The responsibilities of the candidate will also include:
- Perform hands-on manufacturing and characterization of sustainable composite based on thermoforming/ stamping, propose/identify new experimental routes, and improve manufacturing strategies.
- Characterize the induced properties of composite via various characterization techniques (e.g., , static and dynamic testing, environmental test, SEM, DSC, TGA, DMA, µ-CT).
- Generating statistical based reliable input enabling static /dynamic behaviour modelling
- Participate in proposal writing and publish scientific results in peer-reviewed journals in a timely manner.
- Present and report research results at the project meetings and national conferences.
- Other duties as assigned.
