### Postdoctoral researcher (m,f,x) in Atom Probe Tomography and Transmission Electron Microscopy of High-Entropy Alloys
The Center for Interface-Dominated High Performance Materials (Zentrum für Grenzflächendominierte Höchstleistungswerkstoffe, ZGH) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum is looking for a postdoctoral researcher (m/f/x) as soon as possible. ZGH develops new materials through comprehensive understanding and design of material interfaces, exploiting new combinations of structural and functional properties. ZGH is equipped with a set of high-end research equipment for the investigation of surfaces and interfaces of materials, such as atom probe tomography (APT) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM).
For the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1625 (Atomic-scale understanding and design of multifunctional compositionally complex solid solution surfaces, https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/crc1625/index.html.en), we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for the project B01 (Accelerated atomic-scale exploration of phase evolution in CCSS systems using combinatorial processing platforms). The aim of this project is to investigate the surface composition and the phase stability of compositionally complex solid solution (CCSS) systems by APT and TEM, and to contribute to achieve the goal of the CRC: mastering surface atom arrangements. We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a strong background in materials science or in a related field with a focus on thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations and/or materials characterization. Strong motivation to work independently, effective teamwork, efficient translation of results into scientific publications, and very good communication skills are expected of the future postdoctoral researcher. Please upload your complete and informative application documents (informative letter of motivation, CV with certificates, complete list of publications and your 3 most important own publications) as one pdf document.
Scope: full-time
Duration: fixed-term, 31.12.2027 (end of project)
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2026-02-16
**Your tasks:**
- Collaborating with other groups within the CRC1625 to synthesize and characterize CCSS thin films on APT tips.
- Conducting surface and volume chemical characterization using APT.
- Performing phase identification through high-resolution TEM.
- Participation in regular internal CRC meetings and presentation of results.
- Publication of research findings.
**Your profile:**
- Ph.D. degree in materials science, materials physics or a closely related field, with a strong academic record.
- Experience with APT or TEM, preferably both.
- Experience in correlative microscopy, near-atomic scale chemical and structural characterization is appreciated.
- Fluent verbal and written communication skills in English.
