Empa

Postdoc or Scientist in the field of micromechanics of ceramic materials and coatings

Unspecified
Baan opslaan

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

The Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics develops innovative ceramics-based materials and coatings. We study process-structure-property relationships and the influence of architecture on their functional and structural properties. In the context of an Innosuisse innovation project with Alemnis AG, we are developing a micromechanical testing platform for high throughput property mapping in the context of accelerated materials discovery.

Postdoc or Scientist in the field of micromechanics of ceramic materials and coatings

Your tasks
You will work on both basic science as well as applied research questions in the context of the innovation project. You will synthesize ceramic materials and coatings, use cutting edge analytical techniques based on X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy to map their composition and microstructure, and measure local micromechanical properties using nanoindentation, scratching, and micropillar compression in close collaboration with other lab members. The goal is to develop novel micromechanical techniques, validate the prototype, and identify process-structure-property relationships in order to optimize performance and functionality of the novel materials.

Your profile
You must hold a PhD in Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering or similar. A high level of motivation in work in close collaboration with industry and in an international multidisciplinary research team is essential. Experience in experimental micromechanics, ceramic materials, and analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction or scanning electron microscopy (EDX, EBSD) is desirable.

Our offer
We offer an international, highly stimulating research environment with excellent infrastructure for personal and professional development. You will be working at Empa in Dübendorf (near Zürich). The starting date is as soon as possible or upon mutual agreement. Initial contract duration is one year.

We live a culture of inclusion and respect. We welcome all people who are interested in innovative, sustainable and meaningful activities - that's what counts.

We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by e-mail and by post will not be considered.
