Research Associate / Doctoral Candidate (Materials Engineering) | Werkstoffingenieur (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role at TU Dresden's Institute for Materials Science involves pioneering research into high-entropy nitride coatings, focusing on understanding crack initiation and early fatigue crack growth under cyclic mechanical loading. The successful candidate will conduct and coordinate fatigue tests, in-situ damage characterization, and machine learning-driven image and data analysis. This position offers a unique opportunity for scientific qualification, typically leading to a doctorate, and contributes significantly to the fundamental understanding of fatigue behavior in coating-substrate composites. The project is conducted in close cooperation with Fraunhofer IWS, making it an attractive opportunity for those looking to contribute to cutting-edge materials science research and develop predictive models for material lifespan.
