Postdoctoral Scientist: Thermoplastic Fiber Preform Composites 1155 views

The Laboratory of Composite Materials and Adaptive Structures Group (Prof. Dr. Paolo Ermanni) at ETH Zurich is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher in developing novel composite preform materials, in the form of individually coated glass fibers, namely bicomponent fibers.

About the position:
  • The aim of the position is to advance the understanding of a novel coating processing involving the deposition of thermoplastic matrix material on individual glass fibers for advanced composite preform technologies.
  • Candidates with research interests in one or several of the topics of materials science and engineering, chemistry, polymer science with a passion for composite materials and structures.
  • Develop scalable robust processing strategies for coating glass fibers with thermoplastics.
  • Determine methodologies that limit or eliminate hazardous manufacturing steps
  • Experience in composite part manufacturing
  • Expertise in polymer synthesis and processing
  • Practical experience in a wet chemistry lab
  • Understanding of permeability between matrix and fibers
  • Assist with the supervision of PhD and masters students linked to the project
  • Assist with the teaching of courses in the department of mechanical engineering
  • Write peer-reviewed publications and promote results at international conferences
  • He/she is also expected to help in designing teaching modules

Requirements:

  • Candidate must be competent in surface science and engineering, sustainable materials with a demonstrated enthusiasm for composite materials and scale up methodologies.
  • Candidates must have obtained a PhD degree in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, polymer science or a related field.
  • Candidates must have a proven track record of excellent research performance.
  • Candidates will be part of an international research team and expected to be highly motivated, passionate about science, and collaborative.
  • Direct experience with polymer processing and/or surface modification such as composite materials
  • Value expanding your network to an advanced technology readiness level
  • Expertise in materials testing techniques such as: DSC, TGA, SEM and DMA
  • Demonstrated ability to successfully obtain funding through written research proposal

Applications:

Apply online with the following documents:
