Our Faculty has announced four fully funded PhD positions. IMPACT-research group is looking for candidates with special interest in
- Multiscale experimental and numerical mechanics of materials
- In-situ measurements of deformation behavior under extreme conditions
- Advanced electron microscopy and synchrotron diffraction studies of microplasticity mechanisms
We are expecting your candidacy with great interest if you have background, expertise, and knowhow in numerical and experimental mechanics, electron microscopy, micromechanics, Hopkinson Bar experiments, in-situ measurements, Digital Image Correlation, infrared imaging, high speed photogrpahy, physical metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, composites, or some other interesting topic related to mechanical behavior of materials. Our strong emphasis is the mechanics of materials at high/low temperatures and high strain rates, or in general any extreme (mechanical) condition. We expect that you have good merits from your prior studies, excellent skills for experimental/numerical work, and are a perfect fit in our very international team. We offer a position in our dynamic and international research group, strong and positive supervision at the highest level, and access to our national and international academic and industrial networks. The exact topic of your PhD thesis will be decided after your acceptance, and it will reflect both your interests, but also the current scientific and societal (industrial) need to to push the state of the art further.
If you are interested in working with us, please read carefully the instructions on the open positions – website, and submit your application.
