Senior Scientist for Micro- and Nanotechnologies with immediate effect

The Institute INATECH, Chair of “Cross-Scale Material Characterization”, is looking for a Senior Scientist for Micro- and Nanotechnologies with immediate effect

• Application deadline: 30. November 2024
• Publication date: 17. October 2024
• Start-date: At the earliest possible date.
• Scope of work: Fulltime position
• Id no.: 00003987

Description

Our profile:

The INATECH Institute of the University of Freiburg is engaged in research of energy materials for battery and PV application. More specifically a newly developed methodology called “Correlative Techniques” had allowed the structure, composition and transport to be determined at the same position and down to nanoscale. We are engaged within a nice spectrum of teaching with the goal of training students in experimental physics by proposing various practical courses, lectures and seminars.

We are looking for a Senior Scientist (m/f/x) to support the research activities within the chair “Cross-scale material characterization” of INATECH. The senior scientist (m/f/x) will not only push the groundbreaking research in the group (especially correlating atomic redistribution with transport), but will also help in administrative tasks (project writing, management tasks) and teaching (4h/Week need to be accomplished).

Your profile:

You have a PhD degree in material science, engineering or physics from a university in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies and nanocharacterization. Ideally, few years of postdoc are appreciated. Moreover, it is expected that you have experience with conducting and planning high-level research in material characterization such as transport measurements (Hall setup, etc…) or/and atom probe tomography. A committed and independent work as well as the willingness for interdisciplinary cooperation are also required.

 

Your tasks:

You are in charge of the Nanocharacterization Laboratory.

Your tasks include:

• Manage research activities in terms of experiments, publications, and projects. A technician as well as maintenance contracts are available at the chair, so no technical support is expected.
• When necessary, novel sample preparation strategies to allow samples to be nanocharacterized are required.
• Training new users on the above-mentioned equipment.
• Supervision of Master and PhD students: supporting Master and PhD students in their research activities when necessary.
• Active participation in various project initiatives within the chair, faculty and the University.

Our offer:

• The position is an employment contract
• The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date
• It is a full-time position (100%)
• The position is valued at E13 TV-L
• The position is currently limited to 2 years with the option of extension
• The University of Freiburg is certified as a family-friendly university

Application form:

Please apply with a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, academic transcripts as well as recommendation letter(s), quoting the reference number 00003987, by 30.11.2024 at the latest. Also please enclose documents or documentation on projects you have worked on, expert topics and fields of work.

We will be particularly pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised here.
