The Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Tampere University is inviting applications for a tenure-track position in metals technology (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor). The position will be placed in the Materials Science and Environmental Engineering Unit Unit.

The materials science and engineering at TAU focuses on experimental and numerical characterization of material properties and behavior from the nanoscale up to macroscopic structures as well as on developing advanced processing and manufacturing methods with the aim of improving the ultimate performance and lifetime of materials in demanding operational environments. We develop lightweight energy-saving material solutions, added- value coatings and surface treatments, bio-based multi-material solutions, and experimental and numerical solutions for evaluating the mechanical performance of materials. We have active collaboration with local and international industry and research organizations. 

We are seeking highly motivated and accomplished candidates in the broad area of Metals Technology for conducting high-level scientific and technological research with high societal impact. Your interests in this field may focus on, for example,  

  • scientific research
  • development and innovation activities based on physical metallurgy
  • material aspects in versatile and flexible manufacturing technologies
  • use of recycled and green metallic materials
  • improving long term mechanical durability and corrosion resistance in challenging environments
  • novel heat and surface treatments, and joining methods

The closing date for applications is 12.5.2025 (at 23.59 EEST / UTC +3).
