About NAPIC:

NTNU Aluminium Product Innovation Center (NAPIC) is a newly established collaboration between three faculties at the Norwegian University of science and Technology (NTNU). The faculties involved are Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (IVT), Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology (NT) and Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art (AB). IVT, represented by the Department of Engineering Design and Materials (IPM), is the host of NAPIC. Its overall aim is to explore new product opportunities in aluminium by employing a research-driven innovation approach. NAPIC is a research center within IPM's existing facilities with access to NTNU laboratories, teaching infrastructure and resources. Basis funding is provided by Norsk Hydro, a network of metal manufacturing companies and the three faculties in terms of PhD positions. The ambition is to grow the center into a research operation of 10-15 fulltime positions and 10-20 MSc students within the next 3 years. The center will provide access to and partnership with a unique network of industrial companies. Its operational basis will be cross-disciplinary collaboration between product design and development, manufacturing, materials technology and product applications. The vision of the center is to become a world leader in research-driven aluminium product innovation.

 

About the position 

This new professorship will have responsibility for research and research-based teaching within the field of mechanical engineering with a primary focus on design, technology development and manufacturing of aluminium products. Interplay between these fields will form the basis for successful aluminium-based product innovations for new and existing application areas. The professor will have responsibility for developing and maintaining a teaching portfolio within the field of own research. S/he will also contribute in other NTNU courses depending on competence profile. The professor will establish research projects through national and international funding schemes and industry, as well as recruiting and supervising doctoral candidates. Publication of research in scientific journals and dissemination of research into own teaching, are important. The professor will be responsible for managing and coordinating NAPIC activities with administrative support from the Department of Engineering Design and Materials.

 

Your qualifications

The position is part of a long-term strategic plan to build a strong, sustainable research group within innovation-driven aluminium product and technology research. The candidate's research background must be within product design, development, innovation (management) or/and manufacturing with aluminium as the common denominator. The candidate must hold a PhD degree within one of the relevant fields and/or have strong industrial experience within aluminium applications. Appropriate judging criteria will be adapted accordingly.

 

The candidate should be dedicated to innovation-driven research and provide capabilities in building and managing interdisciplinary research teams. The position provides a high degree of independence in choosing direction for research and teaching activities within the strategic priorities of the center.

 

The profile of our search 'persona' is as follows:
