- Utilize advanced manufacturing techniques to design and create smart, efficient heat exchangers that enhance heat transfer performance.
- Collaborate with project partners to integrate materials into scalable TES systems and validate numerical models with experimental data, ensuring compatibility with heat battery designs.

**Your profile**:

- MSc graduate in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on thermal energy storage or smart material development.
- Strong experimental research experience in material science, particularly phase change materials (PCM) or energy storage systems.
- Knowledge of smart materials, renewable energy systems, and thermal energy storage technologies is desirable.
- Experience with numerical modeling to complement experimental work is a plus.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, the ability to work independently, and strong collaboration in a research environment.
- Strong communication skills and fluency in written and spoken English.

**Our offer**:

- Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU).
