Stillingsbeskrivelse:

NTNU - knowledge for a better world

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life.

Faculty of Natural Sciences and TechnologyDepartment of Materials Science and Engineering

Jobbnorge ID: 121479

A PhD research fellowship in the field of functional piezoelectric materials is available. The position is financed under the Research Council of Norway Nano2021 research project "PIEZOMED" on biocompatible piezoelectric materials for medical technology. The project is a collaboration between SINTEF and NTNU and involves collaborations with international institutions. The aim of the project is to develop new durable and biocompatible lead-free piezoelectric oxide materials for applications as sensors, actuators and implants in medical technology.

The candidate should hold a university degree (Master of Science or equivalent) in materials chemistry, materials science and engineering, ceramic engineering, or equivalent. We search for candidates with background in synthesis of inorganic materials, ceramics processing and materials characterization (i.e. X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, thermal analysis, dielectric spectroscopy, piezoelectric measurements) as well as biocompatibility studies. We search for a person that is creative, innovative and can work independently. The person we are searching for has good communication skills and is able to collaborate with other PhD candidates and international researchers. Parts of the work will be performed at our collaborating institutions in the project.

Detailed information on our PhD programs is found at: http://www.ntnu.no/nt/english/phd The regulations for PhD programs at NTNU state that the applicant must have a master degree or equivalent with at least 5 years of studies and an average grade of A or B within a scale of A-E for passing grades (A best) and C or better on the BSc. Candidates from universities outside Norway are kindly requested to send a Diploma Supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail the study and grade system and the rights for further studies associated with the obtained degree: http://ec.europa.eu/education/policies/rec_qual/recognition/diploma_en.html

Applicants must agree to participate in organized doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment. A contract will be drawn up regarding the period of appointment and work related duties.

The appointment of the PhD will be made according to Norwegian guidelines for universities and university colleges and to the general regulations regarding university employees. All applicants must be able to communicate fluently in English (in speaking and writing). PhD scholarship recipients are employed for three years in the position. The position as PhD research fellow is remunerated according to the Norwegian State salary scale. There is a 2% deduction for superannuation contribution.
