We are looking for a highly motivated research assistant for our DFG-project "lmprovement of the endurance limit and the coatability by plasma electrolytic oxidation of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V through shot peening with liquid C02 and fine-grained peening medium", performed in close collaboration with the Chair of Machine Tools and Production Engineering, TU Berlin. For further information, see https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/543599442?language=en. Specifically, the tasks at FGWT comprise to: * optimise the coating parameters to produce hydroxyapatite layers on TIAl6 V4 specimens by plasmaelectrolytic oxidation and performance of the coating processes * characterise the structure and the mechanical properties of the coatings by microscopy/tomography and micro-/nanoindentation in quasiphysiological media, respectively * characterise the fatigue behaviour by cyclic nanoindentation and macro fatigue experiments * developing the theoretical and scientific foundations of the research work * continuously compiling and providing the latest state of knowledge * contributing to manuscripts for the publication of results in high-ranking scientific journals * preparing abstracts and presentations of the results at national and international conferences * fulfilment of obligations defined in routine project meetings, including the preparation of presentations and reports * support for the administrative and organisational activities necessary for the success of the project, as well as public relations work * active contributions to the scientific results of the project through the exchange of samples, techniques and know-how
