PostDoc Position in the field of cold sintering processing of ferroelectric materials and their use in acoustic metamaterial arrays
For an internally funded project, we are looking for a highly motivated PostDoc with a strong background in cold sintering of ceramic, ferroelectrics and piezoelectrics for acoustic applications. The project focus is on the development of sintering strategies of ferroelectric materials at low temperature to be able to process and subsequent investigation novel acoustic structures.
Your Tasks:
- Explore and develop cold sintering methods for ferroelectric materials
- Implementation in metamaterials for acoustic application, as a demonstrator
- Investigation of the acoustic performance of the metamaterial
Your Profile:
You have a PhD in chemistry, materials science, or mechanical engineering, or a similar field. Previous experience with one or more of the following topics is required: Wet chemistry powder synthesis, cold sintering method, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics in acoustics. The experimental nature of the work requires very high level of experimental skills, analytical mindset for interpreting results and the ability to design innovative experiments. In addition, you are a team player and your strengths include taking personal responsibility, excellence and flexibility to work and deliver results. Knowledge of German is beneficial but not mandatory.
We offer a position at the research institution with excellent infrastructure and plenty of possibilities for personal and professional development. The position is for 1 1/2 years starting as soon as possible.
