Ph.D position in Machining at SEM Employer: CIC nanoGUNE Location: Donostia - San Sebastian, Gipuzkoa, Spain Website: nanogune.eu Employment Start Date: As soon as possible Organization Description: As part of a joint collaboration project between the Faculty of Engineering in Mondragon University (MU) and CIC nanoGUNE we are currently looking for a talented and motivated PhD Student with specialization in Engineering. The Machining Laboratory at the Faculty of Engineering of Mondragon University has an acknowledged experience on fundamentals of high speed cutting/machining. CIC nanoGUNE is a Research Center devoted to research in nanotechnology. Among several high end research facilities, nanoGUNE runs an Electron Microscopy Laboratory fully equipped with TEM, SEM and FIB instruments. Job Description: The role of the PhD student within this project is an experimental in-situ study inside SEM and FIB. It will include a morphological characterization of the phases of materials and studying the mechanics of metal cutting at micro/nano scale. The work will necessitate the intensive utilization of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) systems, so that the candidate will have a unique opportunity to acquire deep knowledge of this instrumentation and techniques. Furthermore the PhD student will be involved in the development and usage of the state-of-the-art in-situ micromechanical devices, so will gain a valuable practical engineering experience. Responsibilities of the position will include planning and performing of experiments, processing and evaluating of experimental data, preparing publications and reporting the results. The outcome of the work is expected to be in the form of application reports, scientific publications in internationally leading journals and presentations on the conferences. The PhD position (candidate will be enrolled at Mondragon University, but position will be shared between two institutions) is available for duration of three years as soon as an appropriate candidate is found. Requirements: The position requires a Master degree in Engineering, Material Science or Physics, or equivalent. Good oral and written English is a must. Optionally we may consider an outstanding applicant at the stage of preparing a Master thesis (Research option), who will want to devote his Master thesis to this project and continue with us as a PhD student. Beneficially, yet not obligatory are experimental SEM expertise, a good knowledge in metal machining, and proven oral and writing skills. Job Application: Interested applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and a name and contact information of a referee to: [email protected] and [email protected] with the subject line: “Machining at SEM PhD application”.
