Post-doc surface modification of biomedical ceramics M/F

Job Details

Project goals

The objective of the postdoctoral researcher will be to study the effect of treatments (mechanical, chemical, laser, etc.) on the surface structuring / functionalization / biological response of zirconia-based biomedical ceramics using on-site experiments. in collaboration (France / Europe).

Duties

Depending on his/her experience and background, the recruited person will develop his/her research activity in one or more of the following projects:
  • Elaboration of zirconia-based ceramic materials for dental implants (shaping, sintering, machining of ceramic specimens and implants) by conventional methods and additive manufacturing
  • Physico-chemical characterization of sintered nanopowders and ceramics (DRX, dilatometry, density measurements, BET, Porosimetry Hg, Raman, XPS ...)
  • Microstructural characterization of powders / ceramics (Optics, SEM, TEM, ceramic polishing, cutting and machining)
  • Mechanical characterization of ceramics (hardness, biaxial bending, 3 and 4 point bending, toughness on notched specimens...)
  • Development of surface treatment protocols (chemical, mechanical, laser ...) and realization of collaborative experiments (industrial and academic partners)
  • Developments of characterization tools for modified surfaces at different scales
  • Design and implementation of biological tests in collaboration with the group I2B MATEIS laboratory.
  • Additive manufacturing of zirconia-based "dense" ceramic materials (for surface modification / functionalization): CAD file creation, STL file preparation, stereo lithography printing, parameter analysis, debinding, sintering and characterization


The postdoctoral researcher will study the effect of different treatments (mechanical, chemical, laser, etc.) on the surface structuring / functionalization / biological response of zirconia-based biomedical ceramics using on-site experiments and in the framework of collaborations (France/Europe).

The recruited person will be located in the MATEIS laboratory belonging to Insa-Lyon in France. He/she will also be able to do some experiments at ANTHOGYR in Sallanches, France (industrial partner of the project).

Requirements
  • Excellent academic background attested by scientific publications, particularly in the field of ceramic materials-experience in manufacturing and characterization of ceramic materials - Experience in additive manufacturing of ceramic parts, formulations, CAD files, STL. Knowledge of Magics software will be useful
  • Ability for team work on multidisciplinary projects
  • Ability to publish a scientific work
  • Autonomy, organizational capacity, synthesis and critical thinking
  • Fluent in written and spoken English and French
