About this position
This academic staff position in Karlsruhe offers the possibility of pursuing a PhD alongside the role, with a research focus on thermodynamic databases, materials science and thermodynamic modelling.
The project will involve reviewing existing thermodynamic data and models used to calculate material systems, integrating previously unconsidered datasets and applying the expanded database in thermodynamic calculations. The researcher will also carry out experimental validation, notably through thermal analysis methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA).
A further component of the work is the development of models describing material behaviour. The position includes communicating research outcomes through reports to the funding body, publications in prestigious journals and presentations at international conferences.
The role is hosted within a research centre belonging to the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, Germany’s largest scientific organisation, with more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget exceeding €5 billion.
