hela Sverige We conduct research and education in physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics, industrial design engineering and didactics in mathematics and science education. We offer unique and world-leading research within the FSCN Research Centre and Sports Tech Research Centre.
The Sports Tech Research Centre is an interdisciplinary research centre that conducts research in innovative development and validation of products, materials, technology and methods, primarily with sports organisations, sports and outdoor equipment companies, as well as hospitals and industry.
The research also covers medical applications, equipment for people with a disability and additive manufacturing (3D-printing) with applications primarily for materials and process development. The research centre has several technologically advanced labs, some of which are unique in the world.
Job description
We are seeking a PhD student in mechanical engineering to work on process and material development within additive manufacturing in metals, with a focus on the powder bed fusion method electron beam melting. The project will require both theoretical understanding and practical skills in additive manufacturing equipment and material characterization, as well as programming. You will explore new ways of controlling the additive manufacturing process and investigate the relationship between material, process, morphology/microstructure and functionality of different alloys. The research will be applied and multidisciplinary, and includes both laboratory work as well as modelling/programming/characterisation, but the methods will be adapted to personal strengths and interests.
Independent third-cycle studies encompassing research (80-100%), teaching and administrative tasks (0-20%).
Entry requirements
General entry requirements include a second-cycle level qualification, or fulfilment of courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits must be at second-cycle level, or the equivalent knowledge gained in some other way in Sweden or abroad. Specific entry requirements include at least 90 credits in the subject of Engineering Physics/Physics/Materials Science/Mechanical Engineering or the equivalent knowledge gained in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
Assessment criteria
Previous experience in process and material development with powder bed fusion methods (especially electron beam-based methods), material characterization and programming are advantageous. Experience in research projects and teaching is also advantageous.
Personal qualities
We are looking for an individual that takes initiative, is responsible, builds relationships, and is structured in planning, organizing, and prioritizing work effectively.
Other assessment criteria
