Popis:

Do you want to develop your research and teaching in an environment where collaboration with industry and society is a natural part of the work? With us, you will collaborate with dedicated colleagues, have access to modern research infrastructure, and enjoy strong opportunities to attract external funding. You will have the space to make a real difference for your students, your research, and society at large. The subject area of Polymeric Composite Materials at Luleå University of Technology is now announcing a postdoctoral position. The position focuses on fundamental research on high-performance, thermo-oxidatively stable advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The position focuses on fundamental research on high-performance, thermo-oxidatively stable advanced fiber-reinforced composites. Subject Description Polymeric Composite Materials is a research area comprising the study of processes and mechanisms that influence the performance and properties of fiber-reinforced composites, as well as the know-how regarding their manufacturing techniques. Project Description The recruitment is carried out with the aim of, through fundamental materials science research on the properties of temperature-resistant candidate resins, developing a deep understanding of new temperature-resistant material combinations. This understanding will be used to establish theoretical models describing the relationship between manufacturing and performance. The ultimate goal is to enable continuous use of new materials in highly demanding environments. Duties The candidate will become part of a research group working on validating experimentally verified physical phenomena using relevant material models, as well as development of high-performance composites for a wide range of applications. Qualifications To be eligible for the position, the applicant must hold a doctoral degree, or equivalent, in composite materials, materials science and engineering, polymer science, polymer engineering, computational materials science, applied physics, mechanical engineering, physical chemistry, or related fields. A doctoral degree awarded no more than three years before the application deadline provides a useful qualification. Candidates who have been awarded a doctoral degree at an earlier date may also be considered if there are special grounds, for example, different types of statutory leave of absence. Good proficiency in spoken and written English is required. You should be able to work in a team, take initiative, and have strong collaborative skills. Additional qualifications include expertise in material characterization, particularly of polymers and composite materials. Competence in curing reactions of thermosetting polymers, practical composite manufacturing, thermochemical and mechanical characterization, as well as modeling of thermo-mechanical properties of composites is also meritorious, as is experience with X-ray tomography and the application of methods—including AI-assisted methods—for data analysis. The selected candidate must comply with applicable export control legislation, as well as any customer and supplier requirements regarding security and information management. Access to certain information and technology within the assignment is restricted in accordance with applicable export control regulations and license conditions. Only individuals who can be authorized for such access under these regulations may participate in the parts of the assignment covered by these restrictions. Further Information Full-time fixed-term employment for two years with placement in Luleå. Estimated starting date is December 1, 2026.
