PhD Position Characterization of Innovative Pavement Materials-
**_Develop the fundamental background knowledge needed to assess and select the materials for the sustainable roads of the future_**
Job description
Bitumen is a fossil material that is used to produce asphalt concrete, usually at high temperatures. In moving towards sustainable pavements, alternative materials and/or more energy efficient production techniques are developed. However, the current pavement materials have long life times and for a truly sustainable solution, the alternatives also need to perform for similar periods of time. To assess early on if materials have this potential, fundamental insights in material compatibility and properties on various scales that can be linked to long term field performance need to be developed.
The education and research programmes of the Pavement Engineering section cover the characterization of pavement materials and the design, construction, and maintenance of different types of pavements. All these topics are addressed at various (material) scales, using a combination of experimental and numerical techniques. Current research is focused on sustainability related topics, such as alternative materials, ageing and healing response of traditional and innovative binders and asphalt mixtures, rejuvenation and recycling techniques of asphalt mixtures and tire-pavement interaction. The section is equipped with state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities. The experimental facilities cover various scales, from chemical (FTIR, DVS, DSC) tests to functional properties tests (four-point bending, ITT). The powerful computational facilities enable us to develop advanced numerical models for research at all these scales.
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**:
Need to have:
- MSc in pavement engineering, material science, organic chemistry or a similar area.
- Aemonstrable experience with testing and/or modelling of bitumen, asphalt concrete or similar materials or with data analyses linking material properties to field performance.
Nice to have:
- Demonstrable experience with writing scientific publications.
- Experience in presenting your work.
- Affinity with data analyses.
- Experience with literature studies.
- A preference for working in and with a team.
Conditions of employment
Since the PhD is part of the KPE2.0 project, which is still pending, the position will be fulfilled only if the project is aquired by TU Delft. If this is the case, the project and this position will start in January 2025.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
