Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Micro-/Nano-Mechanical Characterisation of Metallic and Ceramic Materials

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to investigate fundamental deformation processes in metallic and ceramic materials. The role involves using advanced strain mapping techniques to study plasticity and fracture at interfaces under extreme conditions. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in materials science or related fields and prior experience in micro- or nano-mechanical characterisation. The position is fixed-term, starting October 1, 2026, with potential for renewal up to five years based on performance. Interested applicants should submit a CV, publication list, and a summary of research accomplishments.
