Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at TU Delft. The successful candidate will work on a PhD project focused on understanding the mechanics of soft solids, specifically the phenomenon of shear dilatancy in concentrated emulsions.

The PhD project will involve a combination of theoretical and numerical modeling, as well as molecular dynamics simulations. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts in the field and contribute to the development of new knowledge and understanding of shear dilatancy.

The successful candidate will hold an MSc degree in physics or mechanical engineering and have demonstrated proficiency in computer simulations using LAMMPS or similar. Knowledge of continuum solid mechanics is a plus, but can also be developed during the project. Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English are required.

The PhD position is part of a larger research project focused on understanding the behavior of soft solids. The candidate will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of topics, from fundamental research to applied problems. The project is highly interdisciplinary, and the candidate will have the opportunity to work with researchers from various departments at TU Delft.

Requirements
  • Master's degree in physics or mechanical engineering
  • Proficiency in computer simulations using LAMMPS or similar
  • Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English
  • Knowledge of continuum solid mechanics (a plus)
What We Offer

The PhD position comes with a competitive salary and benefits package, including a monthly salary of €2872 in the first year, increasing to €3670 in the fourth year. The position also includes a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution.

As a PhD candidate at TU Delft, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative research environment, with access to state-of-the-art lab facilities and international collaborations. You will also have the opportunity to mentor BSc and MSc students and co-supervise their thesis projects.
