Open positions in the MICRESS group (status Aug. 2011):

Access e.V. is a private, non-profit research center associated with the Technical University Aachen, RWTH. Access looks back on 25 years of successful R&D dedicated to materials science and advanced casting technology.

The MICRESS group currently seeks to fill the following two positions:

- Material Scientist/Engineer or Physicist (Post Doc)

- Material Scientist/Engineer or Physicist (Ph.D. candidate)

Candidates should have a sound background in materials science, ideally experience in the area of computer simulations of materials, material microstructures and/or thermodynamics of alloys. Communication skills in English (fluent) and German are expected.

Our research focus is applied phase field simulations for technical materials and processes. In this context we offer a broad range of exciting up-to-date topics and research opportunities of industrial relevance.

The open positions are related but not limited to:

- Microstructure evolution in metal/ceramic joints during reactive air brazing

- Microstructure and defect evolution in casting of technical aluminum alloys

Both topics are part of ongoing interdisciplinary research projects with university partners and the FZ Jülich. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to both applications and the further development of the MICRESS code.

We offer the perspective of personal and professional advancement within an interdisciplinary, international team and the advantages of a medium-sized enterprise.
