Researcher in Computational Micromechanical Modelling for Green Steels
1 week geleden
Job Description
The Particles on the Edge (PLEDGE) project is a research initiative funded by the Dutch government and Materials innovation institute M2i. The project aims to understand the consequences of 'green' steel making using hydrogen-based production processes and increased usage of recycled material. The project focuses on understanding the mechanical properties of steel, which rely strongly on second-phase particles in the metallic microstructure. The goal of the PLEDGE project is to deeply understand and manage the microscopic deformation mechanisms in green steels, enabling future green steel making. To address this goal, a multi-scale integrated experimental-numerical micromechanical approach is adopted.
Vacancy for a Numerically Oriented PhD Student
The PhD project within the PLEDGE initiative seeks a researcher with a focus on computational micro-mechanical modelling. The successful candidate will develop and apply state-of-the-art three-dimensional computational crystal plasticity and internal boundary modelling to study the influence of particle size, particle distribution, etc. on the mechanical properties of the material. The modelling will also be employed to replicate and rationalize advanced in-situ experiments performed in the experimental PhD project within PLEDGE. The models and results will serve as a basis for the macroscale exploitation and industrial application, which will be carried out in another subproject in PLEDGE by an Engineering Doctorate (Eng D) student.
Section Mechanics of Materials
The researcher will work in the section of Mechanics of Materials (Mo M) at the department of Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The Mo M section is recognized worldwide for its high-level research on experimental analysis, theoretical understanding, and predictive modelling of complex mechanical behavior in engineering materials at different length scales (e.g. plasticity, damage, fracture), emerging from the physics and mechanics of the underlying multi-phase microstructure. An integrated numerical-experimental approach is generally adopted for this goal. A state-of-the-art computing infrastructure is in place for the numerical work in this project.
Job Requirements
The successful candidate is expected to have a MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Materials Science, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or similar. A strong background in continuum mechanics and numerical methods is required. Additional experience in materials science, metallurgy, experimental mechanics, mechanical testing, micromechanics, or structure-property relationships is of benefit. Interest to work in an interdisciplinary project, with a strong scientific profile, but in close coordination with industrial partners such as Tata Steel and Bosch is also desirable. Excellent oral and writing skills in English are required.
Conditions of Employment
Eindhoven University of Technology offers a meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. The researcher will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, the university offers:
- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months
- Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%
- Advanced PhD-level training program in the field of Engineering Mechanics, organized by the Dutch Graduate School on Engineering Mechanics
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs
- A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates
Information and Application
For more information about the PhD project, please contact dr. Ron Peerlings (r.h.j.peerlings@tue.nl), prof. Marc Geers (m.g.d.geers@tue.nl) or dr. Johan Hoefnagels (j.p.m.hoefnagels@tue.nl). You can also contact HRServices.Gemini@tue.nl for more information about the application process or the conditions of employment. Are you inspired and would like to know more about working at TU/e?
