We have an opening for a PhD student in the field of sputter deposition of functional thin films at the Department of Materials Science of Montanuniversität Leoben (three-years employment contract). The PhD thesis is focused on the research topic "Multifunctional thin film alloys for water electrolysis". The focus of the scientific work is the combinatorial development of new sputter-deposited thin film alloys that contain three to five chemical elements and have improved catalytic performance.
The research work to be executed includes:
1. Variation of thin film composition, morphology and nanostructure through process parameters.
2. Development of synthesis-structure-property relationships through high-throughput synthesis and characterization.
3. Use of machine learning approaches.
If you are interested, please apply until 4 March 2025!
