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 Technology

Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Jobbnorge ID: 128148

A Post Doc position in the field of synthesis, characterization and modelling of piezoelectric ceramic coatings for biomedical applications is available. The position is financed under the Research Council of Norway FRINATEK scheme through the project "Piezoimplants". The project focuses on the development of biocompatible ceramic coatings and aims to optimize these for load-bearing, biomedical applications. Research aspects range from the development of processing routines over microstructural characterization of the coatings to testing of mechanical and piezoelectric properties. A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between ceramic microstructure, substrate properties, mechanical and piezoelectric behavior should be established through comprehensive experimental studies aided by Finite Element Modelling. The project is embedded in collaborations with colleagues at NTNU, other research projects and international partners.

The applicant must hold a PhD in materials science, materials chemistry, solid state physics or similar. Candidates with documented expertise in synthesis of functional oxide materials, ceramics processing, materials characterization techniques including electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction as well as a solid background in Finite Element Modelling are desired. Additional expertise in dielectric, piezoelectric and mechanical characterization techniques is of advantage. The candidate is expected to have solid and documented experience in scientific publishing. We search for a person that is creative, innovative and can work independently. The applicant should have good communication skills and must be able to collaborate with the students as well as other researchers connected to this project. As parts of the work will be performed at our collaborating institutions in Norway and abroad, the applicant should be willing to travel in the course of the project.

The appointment of the Post Doc will be for 2 years and will be made according to Norwegian guidelines for universities and university colleges and to the general regulations regarding university employees. The position as postdoctoral researcher is remunerated according to the Norwegian State salary scale. There is a 2% deduction for superannuation contribution.

The national labour force must reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent. NTNU wants to increase the proportion of women in its scientific posts. Women are encouraged to apply. The position adheres to the Norwegian Government's policy of equal opportunity regardless of ethnicity, age and gender.
