Postdoc Researcher-Sustainable Binder-
Job description

In recent years, the circular economy has garnered significant global attention, aiming to optimize resource utilization, minimize waste, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Committed to achieving a fully circular society by 2050, the Netherlands recognizes the construction industry as a crucial arena for this transformation. The field presents multi-faceted challenges requiring collaborative efforts from policymakers, industry stakeholders, and research institutes. Within the construction landscape, road infrastructure serves as a vital component, given its essential role in the Dutch economy. The urgency for improved road infrastructure is exacerbated by a growing population, the aging of existing structures, and increasing threats from climate change-related phenomena.

The postdoctoral researcher aims to develop a compatible, eco-friendly sustainable binder by meticulously analysing each component's inherent characteristics. Furthermore, the research will focus on assessing the durability of this sustainable binder will be evaluated based on experimental characterization. Given the complex nature of these challenges, traditional experimental methods are insufficient in isolation. Molecular Dynamics simulations will supplement experimental approaches, providing accelerated insights into the fundamental mechanisms involved. The ultimate goal is to establish robust design principles for sustainable binders, thereby offering an economically sustainable alternative for road infrastructure.

The Department of Engineering Structures focuses on the development of resilient, smart and sustainable structures and infrastructures. Our aim is to meet societal demands in transportation, the energy transition and sustainable reuse. Research themes include dynamics of structures, mechanics of materials related to e.g. climate change, modelling and design of railway systems, multi-scale modelling of pavement materials and structures, reuse of materials, structures and parts of structures, assessment methods for structures, smart monitoring techniques, design methods, replacement and renovation of civil infrastructure and development of new materials and maintenance techniques. Our unique Macro Mechanics Laboratory facilities support full-scale testing, monitoring and modelling of structures to facilitate implementation of innovations. The department delivers both groundbreaking research and world-class education for undergraduate and graduate students. As a team, we represent different backgrounds, skills and views. We foster an inclusive culture, as our combined identities, attitudes and ambitions widen our perspective and make up our strengths.

**Requirements**:
Additional Requirements:

- A doctoral degree in Civil Engineering, Material Science & Engineering, Physics, or a closely related discipline.
- A research track record manifested through high-quality publications, as well as the ambition and capability to establish a leading research trajectory.
- Demonstrable expertise and interest in sustainable road material testing and Molecular Dynamics Modelling.
- Proficiency in spoken and written English is essential.

Conditions of employment

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
