Descripción

DESCRIPTION:

The postdoctoral researcher will be jointly appointed in the Modeling & Simulation of Materials Processing group and the In-situ Processing & Mechanical Characterization of Materials at IMDEA Materials Institute.

The work will focus on X-ray image analysis, optimization and image quantification for 3D tomography of 3D-printed (additively manufactured) compositionally-graded metallic materials, as well as time-resolved X-ray radiography and tomography of in situ directional solidification experiments of metallic alloys.

The applicant will participate in the optimization of singular in-situ devices for laboratory and synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (XCT) developed at IMDEA.

The job will aim at leveraging X-ray radiography and tomography techniques as a non-destructive technique for the determination of complex microstructures and of microstructure evolution (from in situ solidification experiments) using time-resolved X-ray imaging.

For this purpose, the project will use both laboratory and synchrotron X-ray tomography techniques.

The work involves material processing, X-ray characterization, data analysis and programming. Therefore, a high interest in programming is mandatory. Some programming knowledge (preferably in python) is desirable, as well as in machine learning techniques, data visualization, image analysis.

Performing 3D analysis of microstructures (e.g. phases) and defects (e.g. porosity, cracks) in 3D printed compositionally graded materials
Microstructure analysis of 3D Xray computed tomography volumes
Image analysis of insitu Xray radiographies from directional solidification
Optimizing the design of two homemade furnaces for insitu Xray radiography and tomography furnaces for directional solidification

REQUIREMENTS:

Doctoral degree (or close to obtaining) in experimental Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
Knowledge in programming (Labview, Python, Matlab, C++, etc.)
Knowledge in CAD design software (FreeCAD, AutoCAD, CATIA, etc.)
High level of English is mandatory (oral and written)
Knowledge of metallic materials
Curiosity and initiative

CONDITIONS:

Fulltime 6 month contract
Start date: Available immediately, position open until filled.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The working language of the Institute is English. Full command of the English language is required in all positions.

Besides on-the-job technical training, IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to training the Institute's scientists and staff in "soft" or transversal skills.
