Description

Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT.

By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the Materials Research and Technology (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry.

MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars : nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.

The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing.

These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.

Responsibilities

How will you contribute?

The researcher will be integrated into the Scientific Instrumentation and Process Technology (SIPT) RDI unit of the MRT Department) and will be hosted in the Plasma Process Engineering (PPE) group.

This research group develops fundamental and technological expertise in the area of process engineering for advanced surfaces coatings.

The group focuses on its recognized expertise in Research and Development of both thermal and plasma surface modification for the synthesis of functional polymer thin films, functional inorganic coatings, or functional / smart surfaces.

In the framework of different projects, the candidate will be in charge of research activities in the field of process development and coating synthesis by Physical Vapor Deposition.

She / he will have to develop a porfolio of competitive and collaborative projects at the national and international level.

The activities will be conducted at the laboratory level but also at the industrial transfer level thanks to a large pilot line installation.

The selected candidate will conduct research, development and innovation by defining, acquiring and managing as a PI one or several RDI projects.
