As part of the National research program Aviation in Transition, the Production Technology group at the University of Twente is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to strengthen our research team.

The successful candidate will focus on the development of novel constitutive models for molten unidirectionally reinforced thermoplastic composites, their implementation in finite element software, and experimental validation.

Our research team has already developed characterization methods and an experimental dataset that will form an excellent starting point for the task at hand.

Within the project, you will collaborate with other researchers and share your results with industrial partners.

Your Profile

We are looking for a researcher who has:

  • A Master's 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 (we require a TOEFL > 90 or IELTS > 6.5 score)

Our Offer

We offer a full-time 4-year PhD position with a qualifier in the first year, excellent mentorship in a stimulating research environment with excellent facilities, and a personal development program within the Twente Graduate School.

It also includes:

  • 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
  • A training program, where you and your supervisors will settle a plan for education and supervision
  • Excellent laboratory and support facilities
