Job Description:

Thesis subject: Synchrotron nano-imaging informed tailoring of additive manufacturing microstructures against strain localization.

Beamline ID16B is dedicated to hard X-ray nano-analysis, combining techniques such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and 3D/4D X-ray nano-imaging (nano-CT). It enables world-leading research across disciplines like earth and environmental science, life science, and materials science. ID16B exploits a wide energy range from 6 to 33 keV, providing beamsizes down to 50 nm, and accommodates sample environments for in situ nano-analysis.

You will join a collaboration between ESRF and the SIMAP laboratory from the University Grenoble Alpes to tailor additive manufacturing microstructures against strain localization. Your tasks include designing microstructures of aluminum alloys via L-PBF, conducting in situ 3D nano-imaging tensile experiments, and developing AI-based numerical strategies for multi-scale correlation. The project aims to advance the design of Al alloys for laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing with targeted mechanical properties.

Expected profile

• Enrolled in a PhD program (e.g., MSc, Master 2 de Recherche, Laurea, or equivalent) in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related fields.
• Background in metallurgy and image analysis is recommended.
• Programming skills in Python are a plus.
• Proficiency in English (working language at ESRF).

Working conditions

The salary will be based on qualifications and experience.
