Offer Description This pre-doctoral position is funded by the IKUR strategy, which is a strategic programme promoted by the Department of Education of the Basque Government to promote scientific research on specific strategic areas. The project funding will end on 21/03/2026.
The research topic focuses on the research areas of Smart Materials and Neutron Science. Further research is needed to clarify which of the nanofiller's characteristics (e.g. micro-porosity, composition of the initial building blocks) are key to modulate the structure of the matrix, as well as its functional performance. Understanding the structure and dynamic properties of such composites at the nanoscale is key to improving the performance.
Skills and Requirements The candidate must have a Master's degree or equivalent in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics or related areas.
Proficiency in speaking and writing in English.
Capacity for teamwork in an interdisciplinary and international environment.
Self-motivation and willingness to perform independent research.
Creativity in problem-solving and eagerness to learn new skills outside own discipline.
Presentation skills and ability to meet deadlines are also required.
Work Program The main task of the project is dedicated to structural analysis and characterization. Neutron scattering will be used to perform structural and dynamic research of the samples at large-scale facilities in Europe and around the world.
