Job Description

As a PhD researcher in the Pavement Engineering section at TU Delft, you will be part of a larger research program focused on developing sustainable pavement materials. Your project will focus on understanding the applicability of existing bitumen and mixture assessment tools for alternative materials, with a focus on Warm Mix Asphalt applications and performance over time/durability.

The work will involve both experimental, modelling, and data-analyses components, and you will have the opportunity to interact with researchers from various parts of the world and work together with specialists from the Pavement Engineering Section, TNO, and RWS. You will also have access to state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities.

Requirements
  • 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, or with data analyses linking material properties to field performance.
  • English proficiency as specified at TU Delft's website.
Conditions of Employment

The PhD position 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.

The 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, which provides an inspiring research environment with excellent supervision, academic staff, and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related, and research skills.

TU Delft offers a customizable 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, which provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and settle in the Netherlands.
