The McGill Electron Microscopy Research Group, in partnership with Hydro-Québec, is offering four PhD and Master's projects focused on Li-ion battery and steel materials. These projects will involve innovative research in 3D reconstruction imaging using CT-scan, X-ray imaging, and high-resolution mapping with FIB. Students will also work on developing characterization methods for residual austenite and interfaces in martensitic steels using advanced electron microscopy techniques such as HR-EBSD, STEM, and FIB. Successful candidates will join a dynamic research environment, collaborating with Hydro-Québec and benefiting from internationally recognized expertise in electron microscopy and materials characterization under the supervision of Professor Raynald Gauvin and his team. The research is based in Montreal, Quebec, at McGill University, with access to state-of-the-art research equipment at both McGill and IREQ. Applicants should have a background in materials or mechanical engineering, physics, computational sciences, or related fields. A strong interest in applied and experimental research, as well as the ability to work effectively in a team, is essential. The projects offer high-level scientific supervision, competitive funding and scholarships, and the opportunity to contribute to research with significant industrial and societal impact. To apply, interested candidates should send their questions or submit a CV and motivation letter to [email protected]. The preferred start date is flexible.
