Postdoctoral in High Entropy Alloys: We are seeking a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate pressure-induced phase transformations in high entropy alloys using advanced synchrotron diffraction and spectroscopy techniques. This position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in materials science and solid-state physics, with a specific interest in exploring the fundamental mechanisms driving phase stability in metallic systems.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Pressure-Induced Polymorphism in High Entropy Alloys
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area:
- High Entropy Alloys (HEAs)
- Pressure-Induced Phase Transformations
- Synchrotron Diffraction and Spectroscopy
- Solid-State Physics
Location: Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification:
- A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (exceptions may apply for parental leave, sick leave, or military service).
- Mandatory experience with high-pressure diffraction and/or spectroscopy using diamond anvil cells.
- Desirable experience in X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, X-ray emission spectroscopy, magnetism, and magnetic measurements.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Some experience in teaching and demonstrated potential for research and education.
Job Description:
The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting experimental research to explore pressure-induced polymorphism in the CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy. The project will utilize high-pressure synchrotron experiments to address the fundamental knowledge gap in phase stability in these materials. The position also involves the possibility of supervising PhD, MSc, and BSc students.
How to Apply:
Applications should include the following documents, written in English and submitted electronically in PDF format:
- CV: Complete with a full list of publications, teaching experience, and contact details of two references.
- Personal Letter: A 1-3 page document introducing yourself, describing your past research experience and results, and outlining your future research goals.
- Other Documents: Attested copies of educational degrees, grades, and relevant certificates.
Ensure that all documents are attached correctly and that the application is complete, as incomplete submissions will not be considered. Applications must be submitted through the online system.
