About the job

The focus of the job is on experimental steels research, contributing to a research project Material and structural integrity assessment for safe Nordic hydrogen transportation infrastructure. Developing safe hydrogen (H) transport infrastructure is a mutual interest for the Nordic countries. For example, pipelines provide the most feasible option for regional and inter-regional large-scale transport and storage of pressurised H gas. However, phenomenon called H-embrittlement (HE) is a key threat to the safety of H-pipelines, caused by H ingress into steel, making the pipelines prone to brittle fracture. Low winter temperatures common in the region increase embrittlement further. Remaining scientific challenge is to understand the combined influence of low temperature and HE on the mechanical properties and fracture resistance of steels.

The research is expected to focus on fundamental understanding of HE in high-strength steels, and testing and characterisation of hydrogen-steel interactions. More specifically, microstructural characterisation, fracture toughness testing, and identification of the weakest links and failure mechanisms are of especial interest.

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

Our Laboratory for Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures in Thun is offering a PhD posi-tion founded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) in the field deformation twinning mechanism of hexagonal closed packed (hcp) metals and alloys.

PhD position in the field of deformation twinning mechanism in hcp alloys (a)

The Project The development of light, strong, ductile and therefore easily formable hexagonal closed pack (hcp) alloys is one of the keys to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission in aeronautic and transportation industries. Currently, their use as structural material is limited because of their lack of easy slip systems and a plasticity largely adapted by deformation twinning, associated with high residual stresses. The research project aim at investigating the nucleation and propagation mechanisms of deformation twinning in hcp alloys and the role of solute atoms in these processes. This will be done through the development of novel in situ testing experiments (high strain rate, cryo- to high temperatures) combined with advanced characterization techniques for strains, stresses and dislocation analyses at the nanoscale. This includes the development of in situ high-resolution transmission kikuchi diffraction technique (HR-TKD) in SEM, as well as the precession electron diffraction (PED) techniques in TEM.

Your profile You must hold a Master’s or an equivalent degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering or similar. A high motivation to work at the leading edge of measurement science and to work in an international, multidisciplinary research team is essential. Knowledge of English (oral and written) is required and knowledge of German or French would be an advantage. Experience in small-scale mechanical testing (nanoindentation, micropillar compression), electron microscopy based techniques (SEM, FIB and TEM) and programming (e.g. Matlab, Python or C++) is desirable.

Our offer Empa in Thun, near Bern, offers an ideal working environment with excellent infrastructure for personal and professional development and is situated in a beautiful area in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. You will be enrolled in the "Materials Science" doctoral program at EPFL in Lausanne. The starting date is as soon as possible or upon mutual agreement and the PhD project is planned for 4 years.

«a» stands for «all» in our job advertisements. We live a culture of inclusion and respect. We welcome all people who are interested in innovative, sustainable and meaningful activities. That's what counts - not age, gender, origin, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

We look forwardto receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by e-mail and by post will not be considered.

Job description

Laser and electron beam processes such as welding, heating and additive manufacturing are important in the materials and manufacturing industry. Fundamental understanding and the ability to control these processes to control the microstructures and properties of structural materials is therefore an important enabler for innovative materials and manufacturing processes. However, basic understanding can be difficult to develop for these often very rapid processes that are difficult to characterize. With synchrotron light, however, it is possible to follow the processes in real time and in this project we intend to develop a platform for laser and electron beam processes at the PETRA III synchrotron light source. There we should be able to study these processes in real time with diffraction and imaging and relate them to advanced modelling.

What we offer

  • A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
  • Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
  • Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
  • Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
  • The possibility to collaborate with industry as well as with national and international academic partners.
