IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering. The Institute hosts more than 120 researchers from 22 nationalities and has a strong focus on materials for transport, energy, and health care.
The PhD research position will focus on nanocrystalline Fe‑based soft magnetic alloys for electric motor components. Activities will include feedstock powder characterization, LPBF processing, microstructural analysis, and magnetic and mechanical property testing. The researcher will collaborate with DIMME on AI‑accelerated digital tools for LPBF simulation and work closely with partners at TU Berlin (Germany) and INRIM (Italy).
Characterize feedstock powders for Fe‑based soft magnetic alloys.
Process materials using LPBF and optimize parameters.
Perform multi‑scale microstructural analysis of processed samples.
Measure magnetic and mechanical properties.
Collaborate with DIMME on physics‑based and AI‑accelerated digital tools for LPBF simulation.
Work with research groups at TU Berlin and INRIM to integrate experimental and simulation insights.
Participate in regular training activities on transferable skills organised by the Project Management Office.
Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Metallurgy, Materials Science or a related field, or in the final stage of completing the degree.
Experience in Physical Metallurgy research is highly valued.
Expertise in metals processing, microstructure characterization, and mechanical testing.
Basic knowledge of magnetic property testing or finite element modelling is desirable.
Strong motivation and ability to excel in science.
Full proficiency in English (oral and written) is mandatory; knowledge of Spanish is not required.
Applicants must submit a cover letter with a statement of motivation, a curriculum vitae, transcripts from all university studies, and the names and addresses (but not reference letters) of at least two academic referees.
Employment will begin in June 2026 and last for a period of four years. The working language of the Institute is English. Full command of English is required for all positions.
Applications are processed upon receipt. The position may close once ten working days have passed since publication, so early application is encouraged.
