As part of this very experienced team, you will contribute to bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial application of high-temperature materials.
Your tasks include
- Development of microstructure - property correlations through advanced corrosion and annealing experiments as well as microscopic analysis using advanced electron microscopy techniques
- Qualification of coating systems for application in extreme environments
- Establishing the thermodynamic foundation of the corrosion reactions using the software FACTSAGE
- Preparation of scientific publications and project reports
Your Profile:
- A very good university degree (Master or diploma) in materials engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering or other related fields
- Strong background in physical chemistry and thermodynamics including the development and understanding of phase diagrams
- Experience in laboratory work, e.g., in a chemical or metallography lab, is of advantage
- Very good skills in written and spoken English
- Good skills in written and spoken German would be an advantage
- Highly motivated, skillful at and enjoying experimental work
- Personal qualities such as dedication and initiative are considered invaluable
- Excellent cooperation and communication skills and the ability to work independently
- Courses or practical experience in one or more of the following areas are considered a merit: DTA-analysis, electron microscopy
