Postdoc in Development of a Theoretical Framework for Microstructural Engineering in Metal Addi

2 weeks ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

Postdoc position within the MicroAM Villum Investigator project aiming at introducing microstructural engineering into the field of additive manufacturing (AM) of metals. Specific focus is on developing the theoretical framework for design of AM-defect tolerant microstructures.
DTU, Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, the section for Manufacturing Engineering has a vacant 2-year postdoc position within the Villum Investigator project 'Microstructural Engineering of Additive Manufactured Metals - MicroAM.

One of MicroAM project aims, which is the central focus of this position, is to develop a theoretical framework that includes the effects of the as-built microstructure, multi-scale voids and local residual stresses in microstructural engineering of additively manufactured (AM) metallic samples, and that addresses the local microstructural evolution during exposure to mechanical, thermal and corrosive stimuli/loads thus laying the foundation for design of AM-defect tolerant microstructures. The work will be based primarily on experimental work but indeed it will be guided by advanced AM simulations. The latter being the responsibility of other participants of the MicroAM project.

Responsibilities and qualifications
The responsibilities of the Postdoc will be:

  • to atomize steel powders tailored for laser powder bed fusion printing of steels
  • to print 316L stainless steel samples with parameters selected to form the basis for the development of the theoretical framework
  • to link the powder/printing parameters, the microstructural characteristics and the resulting mechanical properties
  • to perform non-destructive 3D and 4D characterizations of the microstructural evolution during straining and annealing
  • to develop the theoretical framework for designing defect tolerant microstructures that can cope well during subsequent in-service use

You will work in close collaboration with a group of senior scientists, technicians as well as Postdocs and PhD students. Also, the work will involve collaboration with selected external partners.

You must demonstrate a strong background within the following topics:

  • Additive manufacturing
  • Powder metallurgy
  • Microstructural characterization
  • Mechanical testing
  • Crystallography
  • Physical Metallurgy

Excellent English communication skills are also essential.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

The period of employment is 2 years, starting from November 2024 or according to mutual agreement.

Application procedure
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 24 September 2024 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply now", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The file must include:

  • Application (cover letter)
  • CV
  • Academic Diplomas (MSc/PhD – in English)
  • List of publications

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
