TAREAS/TASKS:

Microstructural, EDS, EBSD, and fractographic analysis of polymers.

Performance of mechanical and physical tests on polymers and filaments.

Development of new experimental techniques.

Support for the dissemination of science and technology and the production of audiovisual material.

HABILIDADES-CUALIFICACIONES/SKILLS-QUALIFICATIONS:

Previous experience in mechanical testing, optical and electron microscopy, fractographic analysis, DSC calorimetry, and theoretical models for predicting the mechanical behaviour of polymers will be an asset.

 Office automation, text editor, spreadsheets, databases, Kaleidagraph, finite element analysis.

 High level of written and oral English and having worked in Anglo-Saxon countries on topics related to the project will be an asset.

 BENEFICIOS/BENEFITS:

The candidate will benefit from working in a multidisciplinary atmosphere and highly motivated researchers which a feeling for innovation and solid international connections. It will implement new approaches and techniques for characterising the mechanical and thermal response of filaments and 3D printing scaffolds, also considering a microstructural, compositional and fractographical viewpoint. The experience will broaden the candidate's scientific scope and array of scientific skills.
