Postdoc in the field of interface mechanics and adhesion Share Apply now Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.The Laboratory for Mechanics of Materials and Nanostructures explores novel thin film depostion strategies for interface engineering and probes the mechanical properties of small scale structures and interfaces. We are looking for a postdoc motivated to contribute to the development of programmable metal-polymer interfaces and explore different possibilities for changing adhesion in response to external triggers. As part of an internal collaboration, the researcher is responsible for the fabrication and characterization of model interfaces with incorporated trigger mechanisms, followed by quantitative adhesion analysis to validate trigger efficiency. Upon mutual interest the responsibilities will be extended to adhesion measurements in-situ during trigger exposure, the exploration of alternative trigger mechanisms and application cases.
Your tasks
- Plan and conduct experiments to modify the adhesion of metal-polymer interfaces
- Interface fabrication using various deposition techniques, notably atomic layer deposition and magnetron sputtering
- Characterization of interfaces by microscopy techniques, adhesion testing and interpretation of results
- Publish high-quality scientific publications as well as work in close collaboration with industrial and academic partners from Europe
- Supervision of undergraduate and PhD students
- Contribution to proposal writing
- PhD degree in material science, physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering or related fields
- Experience in thin film deposition and experimental interface mechanics and characterization is desirable
- Interest in sustainable materials development with a potential for industrial implementation
- Fluency in English (written and oral) is a pre-condition, knowledge of German is an asset
- Self-motivated, critical-thinking, open-minded and communicative, with a strong interest to work in an interdisciplinary research environment
