Delft, Zuid-Holland, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd
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 and technologies. 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 a combination of 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, including FTIR, DVS, DSC, four-point bending, and ITT tests.

The Department of Engineering Structures at TU Delft is committed to developing resilient, smart, and sustainable structures and infrastructures. Our research themes include dynamics of structures, mechanics of materials, modelling and design of railway systems, and multi-scale modelling of pavement materials and structures.

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 Doctoral Education Programme.
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 and will have access to a range of benefits, including a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution.
