Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Fusion Research | Physiker (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the Technical University of Munich's Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) research neutron source, one of the world's most advanced facilities. As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you will lead interdisciplinary research focused on fusion technology, specifically characterizing tungsten-copper alloys, steels, and superalloys. Your day-to-day responsibilities include utilizing small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and X-ray methods to analyze material morphology, precipitation kinetics, and pore determination under various stress conditions. You will manage samples in the Advanced Materials laboratory, performing microscopy, hardness testing, and preparation tasks. A key aspect of the role is collaborating with the Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and internal FRM II specialist groups. This position is ideal for a dedicated researcher looking to apply advanced scattering methods to solve critical material challenges in fusion energy, supported by a structured public service contract (TV-L E13) and a comprehensive suite of university benefits.
