The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG), in Geesthacht, near Hamburg, and in Teltow, near Berlin, conducts materials and coastal research. For further information please refer to: http://www.hzg.de

HZG is one of the 19 national institutions of the Hermann von Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres e.V. (HGF). Around 1,000 employees carry out basic research and development work in close cooperation with national and international research institutions, research-oriented clinics and economic and public institutions.

At the Institute of Materials Research some 200 scientists conduct research in the five sub-institutes "Materials Mechanics", "Materials Physics", "Materials Technology", "Magnesium Innovation Centre MagIC" and "Metallic Biomaterials".

Doctoral Student (m/f/d)

Referenzcode: 50019288_2 – 2020/WP 4
Commencement date: as soon as possible
The place of employment is Geesthacht, Germany.

The Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG) operates an outstation at DESY in Hamburg and provides access to highly brilliant synchrotron radiation to its own researchers and guests within its German Engineering Materials Science Center (GEMS – http://gems.hzg.de). An emphasis is on unique sample environments for in situ measurements to observe materials under operation and processing conditions. An actual research topic is the microstructure and phase formation of titanium aluminide alloys during powder bed based additive manufacturing processes.

For this research we are looking for a doctoral student (m/f/d) doing experimental investigations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Hamburg. The position is initially limited to three years.

Your tasks

setting up a new in situ sample environment for powder bed based additive manufacturing together with other HZG scientists
performing in situ tests to elucidate the influence of additive manufacturing process conditions on different titanium aluminide alloys
evaluating diffraction data using advanced methods as e.g. Rietveld refinement and texture analysis
performing additional microstructure characterization using analytical electron microscopy
performing mechanical tests (e.g. tensile or compressive strength)
presenting and publishing scientific results

Your profile

university degree in physics, materials science or a related discipline qualifying for a doctoral degree at a German university
experience with metallic materials and X-ray diffraction techniques will be beneficial
skills in experimental techniques as metallographic specimen preparation, microscopy, analysis of large amounts of data is appreciated
ability to interact with an international team
excellent communication skills
very good English language skills; German language skills will be an asset

We offer

multinational work environment with over 1,000 colleagues from more than 50 nations
extensive options of vocational training (i. e. expert seminars, language courses or leadership seminars)
flexible working hours and various models to ensure the compatibility of family and career
excellent infrastructure, including modern work spaces
remuneration according to the standards of the collective wage agreement TV-AVH including further social benefits
supervision of the doctoral project and opportunity to earn a doctorate at Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg

The promotion of equal rights is a matter of course for us. Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements.
