About the project/work tasks:

The position is related to the TMS Starting Grant project, which main objective is to develop 3D diamond growth technology dedicated to medical implants. The project aims to demonstrate diamond synthesis on complex-shaped 3D implants and improve integration of conventional osteo-implant materials such as titanium. The fellow will get the opportunity to be involved in the development of a novel chemical vapor deposition system and the development of tailored diamond-based coatings for orthopaedic implants. The characterization of tribological properties of diamond-based coatings and assessment of their biocompatibility will be an integral part of the project.

Qualifications and personal qualities:

• Applicants must hold a master's degree or equivalent education in material science or nanophysics or similar fields or must have submitted his/her master's thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the master's degree has been awarded.
