Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the group for Functional Materials Imaging in the Section for Nanoscale Materials and Devices at DTU Physics. We are a young and energetic group with a vision to unravel fundamental structure-property relationships in functional materials via new and original characterization and analysis methods. We offer a positive, supportive and international research environment that values diversity, creativity, personal growth and impact.
The positions are funded by an ERC Starting Grant (#804665), which aims to develop next generation methods for studying polar and functional materials. The positions focus on:
- Design and development of instrumentation for high-resolution, coherent x-ray diffraction microscopy and/or associated reconstruction software.
- Structure-property relationships in functional materials, in particular relating to the role of residual stresses and lattice defects (domains/twins, dislocations, etc.).
The projects involve close collaboration with theoretical and experimental groups, both within DTU and international. Regular travel to international synchrotron facilities is anticipated.
Ideal candidates:
- Are academically curious and think deeply and creatively
- Communicate well in both written and spoken English
- Are empathetic, kind, and enjoy working with others from diverse backgrounds.
- Take responsibility for the progress and quality of their projects.
- Are willing to encourage and nurture young researchers in the group (PhDs, MSc and BSc students).
We are committed to increasing diversity in science, and especially encourage applications from female, non-binary and LGBTQ+ candidates and other under-represented groups. All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent in a technical field, such as physics, chemistry, materials or mechanical engineering. Ideally, candidates should have experience with structure-property relationships in solid-state materials (e.g. ferroelectrics, multiferroics, or other functional oxides), or with materials characterization (e.g. x-ray scattering, electron microscopy or other materials imaging methods).
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and terms of employment
