The full-time position is available upon agreement and is initially limited to one year with a possibility for contract extension upon candidate performance.

Job/Position Description-

In our Laboratory for Advanced Materials Processing, we are currently looking for a Postdoc in the field of optics / optical fiber / optical sensors.

The project requires the development of novel opto-acoustic sensors for additive manufacturing process. The development of interests include:

Performance enhancement of the opto-acoustic detection setup
Existing optical fiber based acoustic emission detection setup, in particular Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG)
Conduct novel opto-acoustic sensor design development

The research is multidisciplinary and requires close collaboration with experimentalists. We offer a world-class mentorship, an excellent infrastructure and broad interdisciplinary surroundings with plenty of possibilities for personal and professional development. Due to a high world interest in online and real-time monitoring of additive manufacturing process, a research experience acquired in this program will guarantee exciting future opportunities both in academia and industry, nationally and internationally. The work place will be at Empa in Thun, next to Bern, Switzerland.
