- Excellent university degree (Master’s or Diploma) in materials science, metallurgy, physics, mechanical engineering, chemistry, or a related field
- High level of independence, initiative, and creativity in developing experimental approaches and solving scientific problems
- Strong communication skills and a high degree of teamwork, with the ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary research environment
- Knowledge of ceramic materials, mechanical testing methods, and microstructural characterization techniques
Very good command of English (spoken and written); basic knowledge of German is desirable

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

- A highly motivated team and an international, interdisciplinary working environment at one of Europe’s leading research institutions
- Access to outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure
- Opportunities to participate in international conferences and project meetings
- Continuous academic support and mentoring by your scientific advisor
- Flexible working arrangements, including the possibility of remote work (partly)
- An exciting research position in a dynamic and collaborative environment
