In this role, you will contribute to the development of advanced polymers and composite materials for cryogenic and radiation hard application.

You will:

• Develop advanced polymer materials, including processing methods, for future high field magnets; examples of such are epoxy nanocomposites or hybrid resin systems;
• Investigate the physical, chemical, and interfacial properties of different polymer and composites;
• Study the ageing effect of the environment and operating condition on polymers and composites used in accelerator magnet technologies;

Skills and/or knowledge

• Knowledge of organic chemistry and chemical characterization techniques;
• Knowledge of polymer science and processing techniques;
• Knowledge of thermo-mechanical characterization of plastics;

You have a professional background in Material Engineer / Chemical Engineer (or a related field) and have either:

• a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
• or a PhD with no more than 3 years of post-graduation professional experience.
