Advanced Postdoc Position in Material Science and Recycling of Composites

1 week ago


Aalborg, Ålborg Kommune, Denmark Aalborg Universitet (AAU) Full time
Project Overview

Aalborg University's Faculty of Engineering and Science is embarking on a cutting-edge research initiative focused on advancing wind turbine blade technology through the development of optimized composite materials and recycling processes. The CIRCWIND and MADE4WIND projects aim to create sustainable, high-performance materials for next-generation wind turbines.

This opportunity calls for a skilled and driven researcher to join our team as a Postdoc in Mechanical Engineering. The successful candidate will contribute to the design and development of new composite materials, exploring novel resin systems and processing techniques to enhance the recyclability and circularity of these materials.

You will work alongside experienced researchers and engineers to push the boundaries of composite materials science, experimentally characterizing fibrous materials and developing innovative test methods and data reduction schemes. Your findings will help shape the future of wind energy production by enabling lighter, stronger, and more reliable wind turbine blades.
