PhD or Postdocs
Are you looking for an exciting challenge in the field of thermoplastic composite materials?
Current open PhD and postdoc positions
Together with the Production Technology and Computational Design of Structural Materials research groups of University of Twente, TPRC offers two exciting PhD and postdoc opportunities at the moment. The PhD position is specifically about recycling thermoplastic composites. The topic of the postdoc position is on advancing imaging techniques for fiber composite microstructures. Check the vacancies below:
Application deadline: 20th of October.
We are seeking motivated PhD candidates or postdoctoral researchers with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or Chemistry, who are looking for an exciting challenge in the field of composite materials. Affinity with experimental work and/or process modeling of thermoplastic composites is an advantage. Profound knowledge of the English language is required.
What we offer
The assignments at the TPRC typically concern a combination of physical modeling (e.g. process modeling of the fiber placement or press-forming process) and non-standard experimental characterization. The time frame for PhDs and Postdoc projects are four and two years respectively. Our industrial partners will be closely involved in the project. The following is offered to PhD candidates and Postdocs:
- Work in a well-equipped state-of-the-art composites laboratory.
- Research on high-tech thermoplastic composite materials and the newest processing and characterization technologies.
- Collaboration with experts from industry and leading research centers.
- Work together with a highly motivated young team of experts.
