YOUR PROFILE

We are seeking candidates with:

• A PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience in metal additive manufacturing, particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF).
• Proficiency in material characterization techniques, such as DSC, SEM, EBSD, XRD, and other relevant mechanical and microstructural evaluation methods.
• Hands-on experience in the post-processing and shape programming of SMAs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage in international collaborative research.
• A proactive and organized working style, able to manage multiple responsibilities.
• A collaborative, creative, and problem-solving mindset.

As a postdoctoral researcher, your primary focus will be on experimental work related to the manufacturing and characterization of SMA components. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team from the UTwente, FIP, TU Delft, NLR, and other partners involved in research on the growth, properties, and implementation of these advanced materials.
