TEM post-doctoral research position (100%)

Offer Description

The Institute of Materials and Process Engineering (IMAP) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to support various projects on transmission electron microscopy characterization of novel metallic and metallic-based materials. Examples of materials include high-entropy alloys and aluminium alloys-based processed by friction stir additive manufacturing and also possibly involving multi-material (steel, Mg, oxides, ...) interfaces. The candidate needs to be trained in high resolution (scanning-) transmission electron microscopy techniques (TEM and STEM), and have experience in STEM-EDX and automated crystallographic orientation mapping in TEM (ACOM-TEM). Hands-on experience with in-situ TEM experiments including heating, cooling, straining or with gas will be appreciated. Knowledge on behaviour of defects in materials is also important.
