The Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (http://www.ntnu.edu/ivt) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has a vacancy for one PhD candidate position at the Department of Production and Quality Engineering (http://www.ntnu.edu/ipk). The PhD candidate will be affiliated with the Production Systems group.

 

Work description

The PhD position will be within the ongoing research project "Material Knowledge for Robust Additive Manufacturing" (MKRAM), which has strong industrial interaction, and funding from the Norwegian Research Council. The PhD candidates will be supervised by a multidisciplinary team of professors and researchers from SINTEF (Oslo and Trondheim) and NTNU (Gjøvik and Trondheim).

 

The need for better knowledge of material properties and their consistency is widely recognized within the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. The overall objective of the MKRAM project is to build knowledge on the effective mechanical properties resulting from AM processes, and establish a "materials technology basis" for selected AM materials and processes. We will also establish practical guidelines, e.g. for reducing part-to-part variation.

 

The MKRAM project focuses on powder bed fusion AM processes. The PhD candidate will build test specimens and other parts with AM machines available in the participating labs, and then characterize and test these parts. The PhD candidate will study process-microstructure-property relationships, and performing mechanical testing and modelling. The focus will be on maraging steel and/or nickel based super alloys.

 

We offer:

• Challenging tasks related to additive manufacturing, materials science and solid state mechanics, and a multidisciplinary working environment.

• Interesting career possibilities within science or industry.

The position is awarded for a period of 3 years.

 

Qualifications

A master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Material Technology with good results is required, with an average grade B or better as measured in ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) grades, or an education at the equivalent level. A research-oriented master thesis within one of these areas is expected. For candidates who are writing their MSc thesis at NTNU it is possible to start in the position before the MSc thesis is submitted.

 

We seek a candidate with a background in additive manufacturing (powder bed fusion), materials science, and/or solid state mechanics (incl. numerical simulations).

 

Applicants who do not master a Scandinavian language must provide evidence of good English language skills, written and spoken. The following tests can be used as such documentation: TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). Minimum scores are:

• TOEFL: 600 (paper-based test), 92 (Internet-based test)

• IELTS: 6.5, with no section lower than 5.5 (only Academic IELTS test accepted)

• CAE/CPE: grade B or A
