Phd Position On Biobased Timber Hybrids: Design and Fabrication of Hybrid Structural Systems
1 week geleden
**PhD Position on Biobased Timber Hybrids: Design and Fabrication of Hybrid Structural Systems**:
**Are you interested in timber structures and locally sourced biobased materials? Do you like developing and testing new structural systems? Join us in the quest for biobased timber hybrids.**
**Job description**
As a doctoral researcher, you will explore the potential of biobased timber hybrids. Your research project will be driven by design and fabrication experiments. Through a hands-on approach you will map the potential and availability of biobased resources in the Netherlands, develop structural concepts for hybrid components of timber and one or more biobased resource streams, and test and validate the developed concepts through physical experiments and 1:1 fabrication of a hybrid structural element. You will consider structural concepts in the wider context of low-carbon and zero-waste design, always informed by the properties and cultivation of the resources. At the same time, you will dive into the tectonics and technical performance, for example by testing connections and bonding techniques to maximise composite action. During the project, you will collaborate with industrial frontrunners in the biobased and timber construction industry.
You will be part of the the ReStruct Research Group in the Structures & Materials section at the Department of Architectural Engineering + Technology and a member of the research team of dr. Stijn Brancart. You will complete a doctoral research under the supervision of dr. Stijn Brancart, Prof. dr. Mauro Overend and Prof. Alex de Rijke. During the four year appointment, you will develop an independent research project and contribute to the research and teaching activities of your group and department.
**Job requirements**
- You hold a Masters degree in Building Technology, Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering or a related field;
- Your master thesis was related to structural design, timber structures or biobased materials;
- You have a strong technical background and experience with structural design;
- You enjoy performing research, including experimental work. You are independent, self-motivated and eager to learn. You are keen to develop new fundamental knowledge and engineer novel solutions for addressing real-world societal challenges, particularly in the sustainable use of wood;
- You are able to work in a team, to be pro-active and to collaborate with students, researchers and industry partners;
- Practical experience with working with wood or other biobased materials, experience with physical testing and/or experience with 1:1 making is a plus.
**TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)**
