Full-time / suitable as part-time employment
The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) is a materials
research organization in Germany. Our mission is to ensure safety in
technology and chemistry. We perform research and testing in materials
science, materials engineering and chemistry to improve the safety of products
and processes. At BAM we do research that matters. Our work covers a broad
array of topics in the focus areas of energy, infrastructure, environment,
materials, and analytical sciences.
We are looking for talented people to join us.
Additive manufacturing processes produce hierarchical microstructures in
metals far from equilibrium, which, when subjected to mechanical load, differ
greatly in their deformation and damage mechanisms from those of the
conventional material variant. The mechanisms are not yet sufficiently
understood (especially for high-temperature loading). The aim of the project
is to clarify and quantify the relevant deformation and damage mechanisms of
LPBF-manufactured 316L steel under high temperature and fatigue loading.
Your responsibilities include:
Determination and quantification of the relevant deformation and damage
mechanisms of additive manufactured steel 316L at high temperature and
fatigue loading
performance of fatigue tests (LCF)
Characterization of the microstructure using optical microscopy, SEM, EBSD
and TEM with the aim of determining the interactions of the hierarchical
microstructural elements with the deformation mechanisms as a function of
temperature, time and loading level
Quantification of characteristic microstructural features such as subgrain
size, dislocation cell size or wall thickness
Documentation of research results with presentations, reports and peer-
reviewed publications / interdisciplinary exchange with the international
research community
Your qualifications:
Very well completed scientific university studies (diploma/masters) as
well as completed doctorate in materials science and engineering
Comprehensive knowledge of the mechanical behaviour and microstructure of
metals (steels, Ni-based alloys) and deformation mechanisms (including
high-temperature deformation)
Solid knowledge in the field of mechanical testing (especially fatigue
testing)m
Extensive knowledge and practical experience in the field of
microstructure investigation with light microscopy, SEM, EBSD and TEM
Proven publication activity in peer-reviewed journals
Business fluent English and good written and spoken German language skills
Good communication and Information behaviour, initiative/commitment,
willingness and ability to make decisions, ability to work in a
Team/willingness to cooperate as well as flexibility
We offer:
Interdisciplinary research at the interface of politics, economics and
society
Work in national and international networks with universities, research
institutes and industrial companies
Outstanding facilities and infrastructure
Flexible working hours and mobile working

BAM pursues the goal of professional equality between women and men. We
therefore particularly welcome applications from women. In addition, BAM
supports the integration of severely disabled persons and therefore especially
welcomes their applications. With regard to the fulfilment of the job
advertisement requirements, the application documents are examined
individually. Recognised severely disabled persons will be given preferential
consideration if they are equally suitable.
The advertised position requires a low level of physical aptitude.
