Postdoc Materials Scientist (m/f/d) 4D Printing of Shape-Memory Polymers

Reference code: 50044337_2 – 2020/B 20

Commencement date: as soon as possible for 2 years

The place of employment is Teltow (near Berlin).

Fundamental and translational research at the Institute of Biomaterial Science of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht is focused on the development of polymer-based biomaterials and devices for healthcare and robotics. At current, we are looking to fill the position of a Postdoc Materials Scientist (m/f/d) – 4D Printing of Shape-Memory Polymers. This will be initially a temporary assignment for two years.

Your tasks

As a Postdoc Materials Scientist (m/f/d) – 4D Printing of Shape-Memory Polymers you will be responsible for:

• computational design and experimental conception of multifunctional shape-memory polymer-based actuator components, demonstrators and devices; creation of computational models for describing and predicting device features

• application of 3D and 4D printing of polymer-based materials based on commercial and custom-made materials, composites, multilayer and multicomponent systems etc.

• set-up of fabrication schemes

• adaptation of printing approaches to match material properties; creation of hybrid and multicomponent devices; establishing desired device functions by single or multimaterial design; selection of materials and material combinations

• comprehensive characterisation of material and device properties and functions; creating and applying test environments to proof material functions/multifunctionality under application of various stimuli

• training and supervision of the technical staff

Your profile

• successfully completed materials science degree with PhD, e.g. in materials sciences, polymer engineering, mechanical engineering

• track record of experience in shape-memory polymers/soft actuators and additive manufacturing documented by high-level publications

• hands-on skills in set-up and handling of 3D printing instruments for polymers

• design of devices (including CAD models) and prediction of device features by computational models

• strong organizational and communication skills

• fluent business language in English or German, with a working knowledge of the other; international applicants are encouraged to continuously work on German language skills

• high level of personal commitment and stress resilience

• experienced handling of MS Office, CAD software and instrument software
