Job Summary

This role involves conducting advanced phase-analytical investigations to optimize hydrothermally hardened building materials using in-situ X-ray diffractometry. The successful candidate will perform complementary qualitative and quantitative microstructure analyses based on energy-dispersive (SEM) and scanning electron microscopy X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and further develop Raman spectrometry as an innovative method for mineral phase analysis. A key aspect of the role is correlating findings with the macroscopic application properties of the examined building materials in collaboration with project partners. This position is ideal for a professional with a strong background in material sciences, particularly mineral building materials, looking to contribute to applied, innovative material science research within a university setting, with the explicit opportunity for doctoral studies.

Required Skills

Education

University degree (Master, Dipl.-Ing. TU) in Civil Engineering, Material Science, or Materials Engineering with a focus on mineral materials/applied mineralogy.

Experience

  • Expertise in building material sciences, specifically mineral building materials
  • Knowledge in measurement technology and instrumental analysis
  • Experience in X-ray fine structure analysis and molecular spectroscopy is desirable

Languages

English (Fluent)

Additional

  • The position is full-time and temporary until June 30, 2027. The role explicitly supports personal academic qualification (doctorate) if not already obtained. For foreign educational qualifications, proof of equivalence with a German degree (certificate evaluation) is required. Part-time employment is possible, with a minimum of 35 hours per week.
