In addition to the academic research, you can be involved in educational tasks related to the subject of your research.This vacancy aims to select a postdoctoral researcher having a materials (metals) engineering background. This researcher will experimentally focus on the role of hydrogen on the mechanical performance of metallic materials. Atomic hydrogen absorption followed by embrittlement can lead to the sudden and sometimes complete loss of the ductility of many high strength steels. Hydrogen embrittlement is among the most complex material decay and damage phenomena. Screening different materials towards their susceptibility to hydrogen degradation will be done by in-situ mechanical testing. Fractography microscopy analysis, together with determination of the specific hydrogen characteristics will be important as well (diffusion, trapping, solubility).WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
