PhD positions (f/m/d) within the Research Training Group 2561 "MatCom-ComMat: Materials Compounds from Composite Materials for Applications in Extreme Conditions”

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.
