Research Associate (Materials Science) | Wissenschaftliche:r Mitarbeiter:in (m/w/d), EG 13 TV-H
Universität Kassel
Job Summary
This role involves engaging in cutting-edge research and teaching within the field of sustainable metallic materials development. The successful candidate will primarily focus on a research project titled "Data-driven inverse design for improved tolerance to tramp elements in scrap-based steel production," conducted in close collaboration with the University of Oxford. Day-to-day tasks will include scientific collaboration, applying advanced simulation techniques like phase-field modeling (e.g., MICRESS), DAMASK, DFT, and molecular dynamics, alongside microstructural characterization using SEM and EBSD. This position offers a unique opportunity for doctoral studies within an international research environment, requiring a highly motivated individual with a strong background in materials science and a passion for innovative research.
Required Skills
Education
Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a focus on metallic materials development through combined simulation and experimental methods. Overall Master's grade of at least 2.0 and Master's thesis graded at least "very good".
Experience
- Professional experience in the development of metallic materials, particularly steel and aluminum alloys
- Experience in phase-field modeling for microstructure development simulation
- Experience with DAMASK and thermodynamic simulations
- Experience with DFT and molecular dynamics simulations
- Experience in microstructure characterization including SEM and EBSD, and texture component analysis with MTEX
- Experience in research within an international environment or collaboration with international research partners (advantageous)
- Experience in team coordination, regular scientific exchange, and project coordination (advantageous)
Languages
Additional
- The position is initially limited to two years with the possibility of extension (qualification position according to WissZeitVG). Opportunity for doctoral studies is provided.
