Postdoctoral Researcher in Sustainable Aluminium Alloy Design

at  Chalmers

Are you driven by the idea of creating innovative, sustainable technologies that leave a positive mark on society? Do you want to lead the charge in transforming aluminium manufacturing by unlocking the potential of recycled materials and cutting-edge technologies? Join us at Chalmers, where you’ll work at the forefront of materials science, pushing boundaries in alloy design, thermodynamic modeling, and additive manufacturing.

QUALIFICATIONS

You must:

• Have expertise in materials theory, thermodynamic modeling, and metals testing/characterization.
• Hold a PhD in Materials Science, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, or a related field, awarded within the last three years.*
• Work effectively both independently and in diverse teams.
• Communicate fluently in English, both written and verbal.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of cast aluminium or additive manufacturing of aluminium alloys.
• Experience with data analytics and machine learning.
• The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

Your primary tasks include:

• Developing data-driven approaches to assess alloying elements.
• Investigating critical elements in aluminium alloys for sustainability and performance.
• Creating rapid, efficient laboratory-scale materials assessment methods for casting and additive manufacturing

Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. 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 position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.
