She/he should have a degree (MSc or equivalent) in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline, with excellent academic credentials. Candidates with previous experience in processing and characterization of metallic materials and finite element modelling are strongly encouraged to apply. Good communication (oral and written) skills in English.OtrosThe PhD student will receive on-the-job technical training based on the activities included in the proposal: (i) Materials design and Thermo-Calc software, specifically in Aluminum alloys; (ii) Advanced Manufacturing processes, specifically in gas atomization and L-PBF, and (iii) Advanced characterization, including electron microscopy (SEM/EBSD/TEM/HR-DIC), X-Ray diffraction, and mechanical testing (tension, compression, and fatigue testing). Training will be completed with stages in foreign reputed institutions in the field of additive manufacturing and physical metallurgy. It is expected that the PhD work will give rise to several publications in peer-reviewed international journals and it will give the candidates the opportunity to present their work at major international conferences. These highly sought skills will open up career opportunities for the researcher in both academia and industry.Conditions4 year full-time contract including social security coverage.The PhD student could enroll in the PhD program in Materials Science and Engineering of the Carlos III University or Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM).The start date for this PhD contract is between January-March 2025.Application Details:Interested candidates should send a motivation letter and CV to ****** is an excellent opportunity to join a leading research team and contribute to impactful scientific discoveries
