PhD Researcher in Advanced Composite Materials
5 uur geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the University of Twente, focusing on the simulation of thermoplastic composite T-joint welding processes.
Company OverviewThe Production Technology group at the University of Twente is part of the Dutch National research program Aviation in Transition. Our research focuses on developing innovative assembly techniques for advanced composite materials.
Thermoplastic composite materials are gaining attention as a prime candidate for the next generation of commercial aircraft due to their improved toughness and recycling opportunities compared to traditional thermoset composites.
Our goal is to develop process simulation tools to provide a relation between process parameters and T-joint performance, enabling us to optimize the welding process and improve the quality of the final product.
Job DescriptionYou will be responsible for characterizing the thermo-rheological properties of the composite and filler material, evaluating the process and boundary conditions, and implementing a thermo-mechanical finite element model including constitutive relations.
Your work will involve collaboration with other researchers and sharing your results with industrial partners.
Required Skills and Qualifications- Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent
- Experimental and theoretical skills in polymers and fiber-reinforced composites
- Experience with the finite element method and programming experience in scripting languages like Python or Matlab
- Proficiency in English, both spoken and written (TOEFL > 90 or IELTS > 6.5 score)
We offer a full-time 4-year PhD position with a qualifier in the first year, excellent mentorship in a stimulating research environment with top-notch facilities, and a personal development program within the Twente Graduate School.
The salary for this position is approximately €32,000 per annum, increasing each year up to €40,400 in the fourth year. Additionally, you will receive:
- Gross monthly salary of €2,770 in the first year, increasing each year up to €3,539 in the fourth year
- Excellent benefits including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, a solid pension scheme, and 29 vacation days in case of full-time employment
This position is based at the University of Twente, located in Enschede, the Netherlands.
