PostDoc position in AM alloy performance in high-temperature water - Gothenburg, Sverige - Chalmers tekniska högskola

Beskrivning

Extend your scientific portfolio during a 2 year-PostDoc on additive manufacturing in connection to energy relevant questions. This combination of competences answers requests for industry and research equally.

In the current project, we want to explore the performance of additive manufactured alloys in comparison to their wrought equivalents for their application in high-temperature water.

In co-operation with the at Chalmers (CAM2), material will be manufactured and brought into relevant high-temperature, pressurized water conditions together with their conventional wrought alloy counterpart.

Microstructural evolution under mechanical stress stands in focus of this undertaking. This project is a collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology, Studsvik AB, financed by SSM.

Information about the division hosts a number multidisciplinary smaller groups with the goal to research on inorganic materials including alloys in terms of their applicability, longevity and recyclability in an increasingly diversified energy landscape. Such energy technologies include for example heat-storage and thermal transfer. Identification of alloys and their manufacturing methods support technological transition and progress.

Major responsibilities Your responsibilities will include the execution of a research plan and its continuous revisions depending on intermittent results. You will take responsibility for new high-pressure equipment. For microstructural investigations you have a metallographic preparation lab, electron microscopy and X-ray facilities available among others. Your findings will be discussed regularly within the project group and summarized as reports. Novelty results are supposed to be published in international journals as well as presented at relevant conferences.

Qualifications

• PhD in a relevant field, metallography, material science, chemistry
• Experience with metallographic techniques
• Experience in high-temperature water effects on alloys
• English at C level - CEFR

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).

Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Demonstrate good potential within research and education.

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.
