Job Description

The University of Twente is seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team in the development of a remaining grease life model for rolling bearings. This 2-year project aims to create a model that predicts the remaining grease life based on oil content, bleed properties, oxidation, and rheology of grease samples taken from bearings in test rigs at SKF.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in Mechanical Engineering or (Applied) Physics, with excellent results and experience in modelling in the field of lubrication or tribology. Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB is required, as well as strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.

The project involves a thorough understanding of Elasto-Hydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL), thin film lubrication properties of oils, and grease lubrication mechanisms. The candidate will work closely with our team to develop the remaining grease life model, combining the technology/science of contact mechanics, physics of complex fluids, and degradation.

The University of Twente offers a stimulating research environment with excellent facilities, a gross salary ranging from € 3,877,- to € 5,090,- per month, and a solid pension scheme. We provide excellent mentorship and opportunities for professional growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop the remaining grease life model
  • Combine the technology/science of contact mechanics, physics of complex fluids, and degradation
  • Work closely with our team to translate results from other projects into models
  • Perform part of the work at SKF Research and Technology Development in Houten, The Netherlands

Requirements:

  • BSc + PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering or (Applied) Physics with excellent results
  • Experience in modelling in the field of lubrication or tribology
  • Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent written and verbal communication skills

What We Offer:

  • A 2-year postdoctoral position
  • Excellent mentorship and a stimulating research environment
  • Gross salary ranging from € 3,877,- to € 5,090,- per month
  • A solid pension scheme
  • Minimum of 29 holidays per year in case of fulltime employment
