Materials Science Engineer | Ingenieur/in - Werkstofftechnik
Montanuniversität Leoben
Job Summary
This role involves working as a Project Staff Member at the Montanuniversität Leoben within the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Deformation-Precipitation Interactions in Aluminum Alloys. The successful candidate will focus on implementing Scanning Precession Electron Diffraction (SPED) into existing (S)TEM systems and establishing robust data analysis routines. Day-to-day tasks include conducting detailed nano-scale orientation and phase analyses to quantify interactions between dislocations and precipitates under various processing conditions. This position is unique as it bridges the gap between high-level academic research and industrial application, specifically collaborating with a premium aluminum manufacturer to improve the integration of secondary aluminum in performance applications. Candidates will benefit from access to state-of-the-art analytical infrastructure and a structured development environment that encourages international networking and participation in scientific conferences.
