PhD Thesis Research Domain A
start possible from April 2025
The research project aims to enhance the understanding of how microstructural configurations influence the formability of aluminum alloys. The focus is on investigating the complex interactions between precipitates and external deformation, as well as the targeted control of these microstructural elements to systematically improve the ductility and processability of aluminum alloys with a high proportion of secondary material, ensuring their application as high-performance materials.
In collaboration with a manufacturer specializing in premium aluminum products and sustainable processes, the project addresses the increased integration of secondary aluminum, particularly in performance-driven applications.
We are looking for candidates who:
- Are curious and motivated to achieve significant research results
- Demonstrate initiative and strong self-organization skills
- Maintain high standards in both practical and theoretical work
- Are resilient and adaptable, enjoying an environment that promotes learning from both successes and challenges while supporting personal and professional growth
- Are willing to work in a diverse team of young researchers and experienced mentors and contribute to a growing group that values open communication and mutual support
We offer:
- A full-time position as a project researcher for three years
- Access to modern analysis and testing technologies such as EBSD, SEM, TEM, mechanical testing methods, and process technology
- Collaboration with industry partners while maintaining academic freedom for innovative research in sustainable metallurgy
- An innovative and supportive work environment, characterized by openness, curiosity, communication, and intrinsic motivation within a young research team
- International collaboration and opportunities to attend conferences for expanding academic and professional networks
- A structured setting for personal and professional development, with valuable hands-on experience in materials research and experimental techniques
Requirements:
- A completed Master’s degree in metallurgy, materials science, engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related field
- Experience with material simulation
- Strong interest in experimental work with a precise and structured approach
- Experience and knowledge in aluminum materials
- Excellent English skills, both written and spoken
- German language skills
Desired additional qualifications:
- Knowledge in microstructural analysis and mechanical properties of materials
- Familiarity with materials characterization methods (e.g., EBSD, SEM, TEM)
Additional benefits offered by Montanuniversität Leoben:
- Good public transport connections (train and bus)
- Flexible working hours
- Occupational health services and wellness programs
- Access to the university sports program (USI Leoben)
- Access to the university's Center for Languages, Education, and Culture
