Postdoctoral positions in nanomechanics of materials
We are looking for several researchers with qualifications in physics, materials science, mechanics or microengineering. Research is conducted in an international environment, in cooperation with several industrial
and academic partners. Stable funding is provided through long-term European projects.
A successful candidate will be able to assist in the development of new nanomechanical testing instrumentation and investigate the mechanical material properties of metals and semiconductor materials at small length scales.
The following positions are available:
1. Exploring creep behavior of nanocrystalline metals using high temperature micro-compression and nanoindentation techniques.
2. Exploring nanoscale fracture behavior of semiconductors using in-situ nanomechanical testing integrated into SEM, TEM and optical probes.
3. Analysing resisual stress in nanoscale objects using electron diffraction (EBSD), tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy and FIB-hole drilling methods.
A strong desire to work at the leading edge of measurement science and a high level of motivation to work in international, multidisciplinary research teams are essential. Knowledge of English (oral and written) is
important and knowledge of German or French would be an advantage.
Experience in nanomechanical testing techniques such as nanoindentation and electron microscopy is desirable.
Empa in Thun offers an ideal working environment and is situated in a beautiful area in the German speaking part of Switzerland.
Applicants are invited to apply for a 1-3 year appointment.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting Dr. Johann Michler johann.michler@empa.ch by email or from www.empa.ch/abt128.
We are looking forward to receiving your application until December, 15 comprising a letter of motivation, CV, diploma copies as well as the names and contact information of two references.
