Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cuttingedge research Empas around 1100 employees make essential contributions to the wellbeing of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Your tasks will focus on the design and operation of experiments to investigate the failure mechanisms in wooden structures. This will require the implementation of mechanical testing combined with a variety of sensors to follow changes in the structures. You will use a range of surface analytical techniques to characterize the detected changes. You will work closely with another PhD student and a postdoc to collectively investigate the failure mechanisms and the generation of highquality sensor data.
Your profile
MSc in Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering
Experience in measuring and understanding mechanical properties of materials
Enthusiasm for designing and operating experimental setups
Highly motivated to work in an interdisciplinary group
Some experience in working with vibration or acoustic emission sensors would be advantageous
Our offer
This research part of a large EU Project will be carried out primarily at Empa in Dbendorf but may also involve experiments at ETH Zurich and will lead to a PhD degree from ETH Zurich. The expected starting date will be in spring of 2025. Empa offers excellent infrastructure in a highly interdisciplinary environment and encourages participation in international conferences.
We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation CV certificates diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by email and by post will not be considered.
