PhD Position in Perpetual Recycling of Asphalt Concrete
3 weken geleden
Ensuring sustainable future roads requires effective recycling of asphalt concrete. This project addresses developing objective tools and criteria to assess recyclability of reclaimed asphalt, allowing for the optimal use of available material. The project involves both testing and modelling and experience with one or both for bitumen, asphalt concrete or similar materials is a pre-requisite.
Key Responsibilities- Develop objective tools and criteria to assess recyclability of reclaimed asphalt
- Conduct testing and modelling to determine the effect of aging and repeated recycling cycles on the compatibility of RA with new materials and their interactions
- Collaborate with researchers from various parts of the world and work together with specialists from the Pavement Engineering Section, TNO and RWS as well as specialists from the Dutch pavement engineering sector
- MSc in pavement engineering, material science, organic chemistry or a similar area
- Demonstrable experience with testing and/or modelling of bitumen, asphalt concrete or similar materials
- English proficiency as specified at TU Delft
The PhD is part of the KPE2.0 project, which is still pending. If the project is acquired by TU Delft, the position will start in January 2025. The PhD candidate will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.
Salary and BenefitsThe salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2872 per month in the first year to € 3670 in the fourth year. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
