Research Associate (m/f/d)

Your tasks:

As part of your DFG-funded work, you will develop and research innovative ways to improve the mechanical resistance of dental glass-ceramics. Your field of work ranges from the glass melting process to the modification of the microstructure with regard to reinforcement concepts and the characterization of newly developed glass-ceramic materials. You will work closely with other team members and project partners to ensure efficient project processing. The project offers you the opportunity to use scientific methods flexibly to meet complex challenges while pursuing a clearly defined overall goal. 

Know-how:

• Completed studies in engineering, ideally in the fields of materials science, materials engineering, dental technology, or comparable training
• High level of self-motivation with a willingness to learn and acquire new skills
• sound knowledge in the fields of inorganic materials (glass and ceramics) and fracture mechanics
• strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to work effectively in an international team
• Independent, creative, goal-oriented and solution-oriented working style
