About this position
Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is offering a postdoctoral researcher position in advanced materials characterization for sustainable steel recycling, in collaboration with ArcelorMittal.
The project focuses on the development of advanced analytical and modelling approaches for recycled steels, with an emphasis on understanding residual elements, segregation phenomena, and their impact on steel properties and industrial processes. The work sits at the interface of materials characterization, metallurgy, data analysis, and industrial applications, supporting the decarbonisation and circularity of the steel industry.
The researcher will work mainly at LIST in Belvaux, Luxembourg, with regular interactions and research activities at ArcelorMittal. Main technical areas include NanoSIMS, TEM, and EBSD, along with optimization of raw data processing, analysis, and interpretation workflows for complex characterization datasets.
Applicants should hold a PhD in materials science or a related field, have a strong background in materials characterization and metallurgy, and ideally bring experience with advanced techniques such as EBSD, TEM, or NanoSIMS. Strong English communication skills are required; French is an asset.
This is a full-time fixed-term 24-month position. The salary is €6,094–€6,678 gross per month paid over 13 months, with annual pay of about €79,222–€86,814, plus benefits including paid leave, health insurance, flexible working hours, and lunch vouchers.
Applications are reviewed continuously until the position is filled. Apply online with a motivation letter, scientific CV, publication list, and two references.
