PhD student in Mechanical Engineering – Automating wire-based cladding for highly stressed wear protection coatings (m/f/d)

Project management: You provide independent public and/or industrially funded research projects in the field of surface technology. This includes: Development of application welding processes for the production of highly wear-resistant tanks Optimization of the alloy composition with the aim of maximum wear protection against abrasive attack Characterization of developed armorings on macroscopic and microscopic levels in the laboratory performing functional testing of armored components under realistic conditions Scientific work: You develop scientific foundations and develop application-related solutions to current challenges in surface technology. Communication and Presentation: You present research results at national and international conferences and represent the Institute in specialist bodies and working groups. Teaching and training: Support for courses and practical exercises in the field of surface and coating technology to pass on your knowledge to students. Can you identify yourself with the tasks and challenges? Then we're happy to meet you.

Academic qualification: You have completed your university degree (master or comparable) in a technical field such as mechanical engineering, material science, material engineering or industrial engineering. Self-employment and initiative: Planning and implementing projects independently, actively addressing problems and developing innovative solutions are among your strengths. Team skills and communication skills: You are a team player and have excellent communicative skills, both in scientific exchange and in teaching. You are able to convey complex facts clearly and understandably. Language skills: You can control German and English fluently in word and writing, which allows you to communicate and publish at national and international levels. Problem solving capability: You are characterized by an analytical and targeted way of working, which allows you to efficiently solve complex problems. Technical knowledge: You have well-founded knowledge of materials engineering and mechanical engineering, ideally with practical experience in application to real problems, especially in the field of surface technology.
