Stellenausschreibung Nr. 1303/2025
PhD positions (f/m/d) within the Research Training Group 2561 "MatCom-ComMat: Materials Compounds from Composite Materials for Applications in Extreme Conditions”
Full time
The Research Training Group (RTG 2561) “MatCom-ComMat”, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) since April 2020, is a collaborative research project of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Technical University Darmstadt (TUDa) and Dechema Research Institute (DFI) in Frankfurt (from January 2026 in Bad Homburg).
We offer up to twelve doctoral positions in the fields of materials synthesis, characterization and modelling.
Tätigkeitsbeschreibung
The focus of the RTG is on the development, characterization and modelling of novel, multi-phase composite systems capable of withstanding temperatures substantially beyond 1300 °C and harsh environmental conditions (e.g., oxidative, corrosive, erosive atmospheres) as far as mechanical behavior, environmental resistance and durability are concerned. This is achieved by combining metallic/intermetallic alloys based on refractory metals and polymer-derived ceramic nanocomposites.
The doctoral researchers are supervised and trained by highly qualified scientists and benefit from their complementary expertise through extended stays at the partner institutions. Stays abroad at internationally renowned academic institutions are also supported.
Persönliche Qualifikation
Successful candidates should have completed their master studies in the fields of materials science, mechanical or chemical engineering, or physics/chemistry. Candidates from closely related fields are also welcome.
