Postdoctoral vacancy (3 years) on multi-scale thermomechanical modelling of thermoplastic composites
UGent-MMS has a postdoctoral vacancy for 3 years on a large research project with a strong industrial consortium. The purpose is to develop multi-scale thermomechanical models for thermoplastic composites, that take into account the effects of temperature, loading rate and crystallinity.
Contact person ?
The responsible person at Ghent University is Prof. Wim VAN PAEPEGEM. He has 20 years of experience in mechanics of composites and finite element simulations. More information on the achievements of the research group can be found on
http://www.composites.ugent.be/.
Who do we look for ?
you are interested in research and have obtained a Master and/or PhD degree,
you are interested to interact and collaborate closely with the industrial partners during the research period,
you have an education in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computational Mechanics, or similar,
you are familiar with mechanics of materials and experimental or computational techniques (depending on the specific vacancy requirement mentioned above),
mastering the Dutch language is not a prerequisite, but a good knowledge of English writing and speaking is absolutely required.
