Our Laboratory for Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures at
Empa's location in Thun, Switzerland, is offering a
Postdoctoral position in "Analysis of nanocrystalline materials
via X-ray diffraction”
We are looking for a researcher with a recent PhD in Physics,
Chemistry or Materials Science. Research is conducted in an
international environment and in cooperation with several
industrial and academic partners and is mainly funded by
long-term European and national projects. The successful
candidate will generally assist in the synthesis of new
nanocrystalline bulk materials and thin films and explore their
microstructure by X-ray diffraction and by complementary methods
such as transmission electron microscopy or Raman spectroscopy.
A strong interest to work at the leading edge of measurement science
and a high motivation to work in international and multidisciplinary
research teams are essential. Good knowledge of English (oral and
written) is important and knowledge of German or French would
be an advantage. Experience in X-ray diffraction techniques
is desirable.
Empa in Thun offers an ideal working environment and is situated
in a beautiful area in the German speaking part of Switzerland.
Applicants are invited to apply for a 1-3-year appointment.
