About the PLEDGE Project

The PLEDGE project is a research initiative focused on understanding the consequences of 'green' steel making. This involves using a hydrogen-based production process and increasing the usage of recycled material. The project aims to deeply understand and manage the microscopic deformation mechanisms in the presence of second-phase particles, to enable future green steel making.

Vacancy for a Numerically Oriented PhD Student

We are seeking a talented and motivated researcher to join our team as a numerically oriented PhD student. The successful candidate will develop and apply state-of-the-art three-dimensional computational crystal plasticity and internal boundary modelling to study the influence of particle size, particle distribution, etc. on the mechanical properties of the material.

Research Focus

The modelling will be employed to replicate, and hence rationalize, advanced in-situ experiments performed in the experimental PhD project within PLEDGE. The models and results will serve as a basis for the macroscale exploitation and industrial application, which will be carried out in another subproject in PLEDGE by an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) student.

Working in the Section of Mechanics of Materials

You will work in the section of Mechanics of Materials (MoM) at the department of Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). The MoM section is recognized worldwide for its high-level research on experimental analysis, theoretical understanding and predictive modelling of complex mechanical behavior in engineering materials at different length scales (e.g., plasticity, damage, fracture), which emerges from the physics and mechanics of the underlying multi-phase microstructure.

Requirements

  • A talented, motivated, enthusiastic, curiosity-driven researcher with deep analytical skills, initiative, creativity, and flexibility.
  • A MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Materials Science, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or similar with a strong background in continuum mechanics and numerical methods.
  • Additional experience in materials science, metallurgy, experimental mechanics, mechanical testing, micromechanics, or structure-property relationships is of benefit.
  • Interest to work in an interdisciplinary project, with a strong scientific profile, but in close coordination with industrial partners such as Tata Steel and Bosch.
  • Excellent oral and writing skills in English.

Conditions of Employment

  • Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
  • Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
  • A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
  • High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher.
  • An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
  • An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
