The Chair of Materials Discovery and Interfaces at the Faculty of Mechanical engineering is looking for a

**Doctoral Researcher (m,f,x) - Development of efficient thermoelectric half-Heusler materials using thin film materials libraries and high-throughput characterization, for 3 years, 39,83 hours per week, TVL E13**:
In the framework of a cooperation project together with Montpellier University (France) and DLR (Cologne, Germany) we are looking for a doctoral researcher (M/F/d) for our part of the DFG project “Combinatorial development of efficient thermoelectric half-Heusler materials”. The project duration will be 3 years. The chair Materials Discovery and Interfaces at the Institute for Materials is one of the leading facilities for high throughput materials research and develops new multifunctional materials by using combinatorial coating processes (material libraries) and high throughput characterization methods. Unique experimental facilities are available for this purpose (combinatorial sputtering systems, high-throughput characterization methods, etc.). The future doctoral researcher (M/F/d) is expected to: work independently with high motivation, be able to collaborate in teams in a goal-oriented manner, efficiently translate results into scientific publications, have very good scientific, technical and communication skills, be fluent in written and spoken English.

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with very good knowledge in the fields of materials science and thin film technology, who is willing to tackle new, exciting and promising topics in an interdisciplinary environment and has the ambition to efficiently generate and publish new scientific findings.

**duration**:

- temporary**beginning**:

- as soon as possible

13.01.2025**Your tasks**:

- Combinatorial synthesis of thin film materials libraries using sputtering
- High-throughput characterization of the thin film materials libraries (EDX, XRD, Seebeck-mapping, resistance, scanning thermal microscopy )
- Analysis and visualization of the results
- Data management (usage of research data management system)

**Your profile**:

- Completed studies with a focus on materials science, with very good results in the field of mechanical engineering (specializing in materials), materials science, materials chemistry or comparable
