Delft, Nederland TNO Voltijd

The road construction sector in the Netherlands is on the verge of a major transition. The CO2 emissions from the construction, maintenance and use of roads must be reduced considerably. This can be achieved with a longer lifespan of surface courses of the road and by using materials with a lower carbon footprint. TNO contributes to this aspect in numerous ways. For example, we develop lifetime prediction models for asphalt pavements that make predictions based on a combination of data from the practice and theoretical models. We are applying bio-based asphalt binders, which are processed from renewable sources which can lower the use of fossil-based binders i.e., bitumen. Additionally, we conduct research on extending the service life through maintenance, in which rejuvenators are used to extend the lifespan of existing asphalt surface courses. We engage the state-of-the-art characterization tools to evaluate asphalt binders i.e., bitumen and asphalt concrete properties. Our laboratory in Delft is equipped with physico-chemical characterization tools to evaluate material properties from fundamental to field scale investigations. What will be your role?

We have various research and innovation challenges within the team that can be addressed within a graduation assignment.

  • For the development of the life-time prediction models, it is important that the existing information about the design and construction of the road, contained in PDF documents, can be combined with the performance data from the practice.
  • We are investigating the self-healing capacity of asphalt and most importantly in the binder bitumen, to see how this can be included in road design. There is a need to investigate the influence of rejuvenators on the healing potential of asphalt.
  • We conduct research in extracting oil from algae to develop new biobased rejuvenators. Within this research there is a need to find out which extraction methods lead to the most effective rejuvenators.

    All these assignments are carried out in a multi-disciplinary team of, among others, road engineers, data scientists and chemical technologists. What we expect from you

    You are a master student with an affinity for data analysis and processing. You enjoy working on concrete assignments that are close to practice. You are curious, independent by nature and you are eager to look for novel solutions to the problems you encounter. You enjoy working in a team. What you'll get in return

    You want an internship opportunity on the precursor of your career; an internship gives you an opportunity to take a good look at your prospective future employer. TNO goes a step further. It’s not just looking that interests us; you and your knowledge are essential to our innovation. That’s why we attach a great deal of value to your personal and professional development.

      After the first CV selection, the application process will be conducted by the concerning department. TNO will provide a suitable internship agreement. If you have any questions about this vacancy, you can contact the contact person mentioned below.For this internship vacancy it is required that the AIVD issues a security clearance (VGB) after conducting a security screening. Take into account that this process may take about 8 weeks. If you have been abroad for more than 6 consecutive months, or if you do not have the Dutch nationality, it may take longer. Read more about security screening on the AIVD website.Important to be aware of before applying:

      • Before the start of the internship, the internship agreement from TNO needs to be signed. For students at a college or university based in the Netherlands, TNO uses the UNL-template (supplemented with a number of specific agreements from TNO). For students of foreign and MBO educational institutions, the TNO internship agreement applies. TNO does not sign any other internship agreements.
      • Before the start of the internship, the educational institution will need to confirm in writing that:
        1. you are enrolled at the educational institution during the internship, and;
        2. the internship takes place as part of the programme of the study.
          • The confirmation of educational institution takes place by signing the UNL template or forms prepared by TNO.
          • Interns at TNO must be in possession of a Dutch residential address at the start of the internship. Performance of internship activities from abroad is not possible.
