PhD position (m/f/d) 042-22-2503
Additive Manufacturing of high-performance thermoelectric devices
Working field:
They will employ additive manufacturing, based on the selective laser melting (SLM) process, to optimize thermoelectric materials and fabricate thermoelectric devices for higher performance in terms of energy conversion efficiency, cooling performance, and thermal long-term stability. Traditional methods will also be used for references. A deepened understanding of the interrelations among manufacturing, microstructure, material properties and device performance will be applied. This Ph.D. thesis will take part in the IFW excellence project on thermoelectric modules.
Requirements:
We are seeking highly motivated applicants (m/f/d) with a university degree (Master/Diploma) with a background in materials science and engineering, solid state physics, nanotechnology, mechanical engineering or a relevant subject. Good communication skills in English (spoken and written) are expected.
What we offer:
The Institute for Metallic Materials (Prof. K. Nielsch) of the IFW Dresden offers a PhD position (m/f/d) on the following topic: Additive Manufacturing of high-performance thermoelectric devices.
The project duration is limited to 3.5 years and will start as soon as possible. The salary is based upon the TV-L rules (EG 13, 65%). PhD candidates (m/f/d) are facilitated to participate in the PhD program to successfully complete their dissertation. We offer an attractive work place with excellent facilities and environment in Dresden.

How to apply:
IFW Dresden strives for a balanced gender ratio in all areas. In science, IFW Dresden would like to increase the proportion of women and therefore explicitly invites suitably qualified female scientists to apply. The application of severely disabled persons is explicitly welcome. The promising candidates will be invited to an interview (most likely online due to the covid-19 pandemic).
