Contribute to global efforts for increased sustainability, cost savings, and a reduced environmental footprint through innovative solutions.
Project description
The position is based at the division of Materials and Manufacture at the Department of Industrial and Material Science, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a truly interdisciplinary team and work closely with Volvo Cars, our industry partner. The position holds merit for future research responsibilities within academia, industry, or the public sector.
Major responsibilities
Your main responsibility is to develop high-throughput methods for understanding and assessing the impact of secondary aluminium alloys on mega casting components. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large.
The main activities include:
1) developing an efficient procedure for elemental identification in secondary aluminium, and perform CALPHAD calculations to predict possible phases.
2) developing a small-scale manufacturing technique of cast samples, mimicking full-scale cast samples. Perform microstructure analyses to compare small- and full-scale samples.
3) developing and perform micro and macro scale testing of small-scale constituents and macro-scale samples.
4) to analysing the results and write articles.
Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree in Materials Science, Engineering Physics or other related disciplines, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
The successful candidate for this position has a strong background in CALPHAD calculations, testing of metals, and microstructure analysis of metals using optical microscopy, SEM, and X-ray scattering.
Working knowledge on casting aluminium and machine learning algorithms are strong merits. You should have a personal ability to work independently and in a team with diverse backgrounds. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
The position requires proficient verbal and written communication skills in English. While Swedish is not a requirement, Chalmers offers Swedish language courses.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension.
