Job abstractJV_description

A PhD position in Atom Probe Tomography studies in materials science and engineering is available at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE).

The theme of the PhD research is atom scale investigations of structure and chemical composition of solid state materials and/or thin film related to ongoing research activities within the department. The position is directly funded by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and is related to the fact that DMSE recently has installed a state-of-the-art atom probe instrument and want to build up activities and competence around this instrument . Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a microscopy technique that provides 3D atom-by-atom imaging of materials with a uniquely powerful combination of spatial and chemical resolution. A wide range of materials can be analyzed including metals, alloys, intermetallics, semi-conductors, oxides and thin films.

Qualification requirements

The PhD-position's main objective is to qualify for work in research positions. The qualification requirement is completion of a master's degree or second degree (equivalent to 120 credits) with a strong academic background in materials science and engineering, metallurgy, physics, chemistry or equivalent education with a grade of B or better in terms of NTNU's grading scale. Applicants with no letter grades from previous studies must have an equally good academic foundation. Applicants who are unable to meet these criteria may be considered only if they can document that they are particularly suitable candidates for education leading to a PhD degree.

To be considered for this position the candidate has to contact a relevant research group at the department to define a suitable project that involves extensive use of the APT instrument. A brief outline of the project, signed by both the applicant and his/her prospective supervisor (faculty member in that research group) should be included with the application. Candidates without a signed project abstractJV_description will not be considered. The contact person for the position and/or the department head can arrange for such contact if needed.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and national guidelines for appointment as PhD, postdoctor and research assistant

The position requires spoken and written fluency in the English language. Applicants from non-English-speaking countries outside Europe must document English skills by an approved test. Approved tests are TOEFL, IELTS and Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).

Personal characteristics

The successful candidate should be creative, with a strong ability to work problem oriented and to work independently.

In the evaluation of which candidate is best qualified, emphasis will be placed on education, experience and personal suitability, in terms of the qualification requirements specified in the advertisement.

The appointment has a duration of 3 years with the possibility of until 1 year extension with 25% teaching duties in agreement with the department. (To undertake the teaching duties it is a requirement that the candidate speaks Norwegian or another Scandinavian language).

Appointment to a PhD position requires admission to the PhD programme in Materials Science and Engineering, https://www.ntnu.edu/studies/phmt. As a PhD candidate, you undertake to participate in an organized PhD programme during the employment period. A condition of appointment is that you are in fact qualified for admission to the PhD programme within three months.

Appointment takes place on the terms that apply to State employees at any time, and after the appointment you must assume that there may be changes in the area of work.
