Junior Scientist (f/m/d) for Advanced In-Operando WAAM Material and Process Characterisation (incl. a PhD-Thesis)

At the LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum Ranshofen, we are leaders in the development of sustainable materials and processing technologies. We are the primary contact in this field for industry partners in the automotive, aerospace, space, and rail vehicle sectors within the EU. In particular, advanced manufacturing technologies such as wire-based additive manufacturing require intensive further development due to their intrinsic and unique complexities. Therefore, both materials and processing technologies need to be advanced equally.

• You work on a focused, industry-relevant fundamental research field in process and material characterisation, becoming an internationally recognised expert in wire-based additive manufacturing.
• You support project management in national and international collaboration projects and work with project partners from small, medium, and large-scale industries.
• You independently plan, conduct, and evaluate scientific experiments, process results, and summarise findings for documentation and presentation.
• With your acquired expertise and know-how, you contribute to securing further research projects.

• You publish your research results both as part of a team and as a first author in scientific journals and participate in international conferences.
• You supervise interns or master’s students in your field of research.
• You independently develop solutions to previously unanswered research questions.
• You actively contribute your network and perspectives on challenges to projects.
