Postdoctoral Researcher in Fusion Research | Wissenschaftler (Postdoc) für Fusionsforschung (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This postdoctoral position at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) involves conducting high-level fusion research at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Research Neutron Source (FRM II). You will lead interdisciplinary efforts to characterize W/Cu alloys, steels, and superalloys using advanced scattering methods, specifically Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). The role involves analyzing materials under stress and hydrogen loading using a novel testing machine, combining neutron and X-ray methods. You will collaborate closely with the Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and various internal research groups focusing on diffraction, imaging, and positron research. This is a unique opportunity to work at one of the world's most modern neutron sources, utilizing a specialized laboratory for material preparation and characterization including X-ray diffraction and microscopy. The position offers a highly collaborative environment at the intersection of nuclear physics and materials science, supported by the extensive resources of TUM.
