Beschreibung

The International Max Planck Research School for Sustainable Metallurgy (SusMet) offers in full time for four years

2 DAAD PhD scholarships (M/F/d) in Sustainable Metallurgy for students from developing countries

for the following projects:

- "High-Throughput Atomistic Simulations of Microstructure-Induced Failure", Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, Düsseldorf
- "Multimodal multiscale correlative microscopy of reduction processes", Ruhr-Universität Bochum

What we do

Our structured, three-year doctoral program, conducted entirely in English, takes an intensive interdisciplinary approach and brings together scientists from across the globe in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region of Germany.

Metallurgy has provided humankind since more than five millennia with materials, tools and the associated progress.

It is not only a huge engineering success story, but has also become the biggest single industrial environmental burden of our generation.

Disruptive innovations are required for alternative reduction processes that convert mineral ores into metals without today's carbon based methods that release huge amounts of CO2.

SusMet focuses on the exploration of carbon-free sustainable metallurgy, employing hydrogen as reducing agent, direct electroreduction (electrolysis) and plasma synthesis.

Correlating experimental, ab initio and multi-scale simulation as well as machine learning techniques is central to our mission:

High resolution analysis, monitoring of chemistry, structure and transformations at the atomic scale of buried interfaces and defects by correlated experimental techniques in both space and time (e.g., correlated APT, TEM, FIM, EBIC, EBSD, XPS Kelvin probe microscopy, machine learning augmented analysis techniques)
Experimental and computational analysis of transport and the reaction of surfaces and particles with reducing and oxidizing gasphase species (e.g. laserbased imaging diagnostics, setup of model reactors, modeling of underlying reactions, multiscale simulation of reactive fluids, computational fluid dynamics)

What we offer

Cuttingedge research in a dynamic work environment
Wellstructured curriculum and close supervision of the PhD projects including regular status meetings
An international and openminded community with outstanding opportunities for collaboration
