Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW) has ESR position (as part of the European Training Network “BIOREMIA” dealing with research on novel biofilm-resistant materials for hard tissue implant applications.
About the project:
- BIOREMIA (“BIOfilm-REsistant Materials for hard tissue Implant Applications”) is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 861046.
- Project title ESR 9: Oxidative stress effects, corrosion and electrochemical response of new metastable Ti alloys with bacteria-killing oxide-based coatings
- Expected starting date is 1 June 2020 (approx.)
- This project focuses on the fundamental description of mechanisms of metal toxicity and corrosion based on oxidative stress effects for new beta-Ti-alloys and Ti-based metallic glasses as well as the development of bacteria-killing oxide-based surface coatings and the analysis of their impact on those phenomena.
- The appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum period of 36 months (PhD student, regular full-time employment contract), with an attractive salary plus allowances package according to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie/Innovative Training Networks rules.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must at the time of recruitment be in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers.
- Applicants must not have resided in Germany for more than 12 months in the last 3 years
- Applicants must not been awarded a doctoral degree.
- Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent Materials Science and Engineering or Chemistry providing access to PhD programs and should have experience with experimental research
- Applicants must have excellent proficiency in written and spoken English
- Applicants must have strong motivation and ability to collaborate in an interdisciplinary and international team
