Computational modelling of microstructure formation

Job description

This project aims to develop a physics-based 3D model that reproduces and predicts the formation of martensite and bainite in steels, while also considering the role of carbon segregation at defects, a key factor influencing these transformation processes. Furthermore, using atomistic simulations, the project seeks to determine critical parameters like interface mobility, carbon concentration at defects, and nucleation rates—values that typically require experimental data. As postdoctoral researcher, you will work on the development of this model and on the validation of its outcome against experimental data. You will work in a challenging academic environment and will collaborate with industries in the implementation of this model. Further, you are expected to contribute to the research and education environment through discussions, the (co-) supervision of students and guest lectures.

Job requirements

We seek an outstanding, motivated and enthusiastic researcher with experience in microstructure development in metals and computational materials science. Applicant must:

  • Hold a PhD in the field of metals science and microstructural modelling;
  • Have proven and extensive experience with microstructural analysis and computational modelling of microstructure development in metals;
  • Have a critical, curious and creative approach to the research, with excellent problem-solving skills and communication skills.
  • Have proven experience writing scientific publications and preparing communications for scientific and technical meetings with project partners.
  • Have a motivation to work in an international, multidisciplinary, and academic-industrial team.
  • Be willing to participate in educational activities such as guest lectures.
  • Have proven excellent written and spoken English skills

Faculty Mechanical Engineering

From chip to ship. From machine to human being. From idea to solution. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to understand our environment and discover its underlying mechanisms, research and education at the ME faculty focusses on fundamental understanding, design, production including application and product improvement, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems.

ME is a dynamic and innovative faculty with high-tech lab facilities and international reach. It’s a large faculty but also versatile, so we can often make unique connections by combining different disciplines. This is reflected in ME’s outstanding, state-of-the-art education, which trains students to become responsible and socially engaged engineers and scientists. We translate our knowledge and insights into solutions to societal issues, contributing to a sustainable society and to the development of prosperity and well-being. That is what unites us in pioneering research, inspiring education and (inter)national cooperation.

  • Duration of contract is 3 years.
  • A job of 36-40 hours per week.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
