Research Assistant supporting social science research initiatives at Vanderbilt University. Involves assisting with study procedures, data collection, and collaboration with research teams.
About the role
- Research Assistant at Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung focusing on characterization of ferroelectric materials. Collaborating with international partners on X-ray diffraction and electrical measurements.
Responsibilities
- Focus on characterizing the structure of single crystals subjected to time-dependent electric fields
- Conduct time- and field-dependent X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements in laboratory settings and at synchrotron radiation sources
- Perform spatially resolved characterization on the microscale to study the influence of domain walls on elastic strain and polarization fields
- Carry out complementary characterization by laser interferometry and piezo-force microscopy (PFM) at IKZ, together with electrical measurements
- Project conducted in collaboration with Tel Aviv University (TAU) and TU Bergakademie Freiberg, requiring regular scientific exchange
Requirements
- MSc degree in physics, materials science, or a closely related discipline
- Basic programming skills, ideally in Python
- Ability to self-manage and actively collaborate within a team of scientists, technicians, and students
- Good command of English
- Basic knowledge of German is an advantage
- Practical experience with single-crystal X-ray diffraction for bulk or thin-film characterization is an asset
- Experience using synchrotron radiation is advantageous
- Experience with electrical measurements (I–V / P–E loops) and electrical circuitry
- Education in crystallography
Benefits
- 30 vacation days (based on a 5-day workweek)
- Flexible working hours
