PhD position: Research on the fabrication of new high-performance components

Do you want to do a doctorate and set new standards in the development of components with your research?

Are you looking for an inspiring environment in which you not only work, but actively help shape?

Are you enthusiastic about mechanics and love solving complex problems?

Are you a team player and feel most at home in a research group?

» Then you've come to the right place!

We are looking for a highly motivated graduate who would like to become part of a large research group. Together we want to establish high-performance components that consist of a combination of different metallic materials and the specific introduction of porosities. Your part will be to simulate the additive manufacturing process and thereby improve fabrication.

 

About us:

At the Chair of Computational Physics in Engineering at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau we are working on cutting-edge models for the additive manufacturing process on different scales. The simulation of the temperature field and the residual stresses in the hybrid, porous components is crucial for configuring and optimising the additive manufacturing process.

What we offer:

    Cooperation at eye level in a young and dynamic team
    Flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely
    Exciting research topics in the field of simulation of the additive manufacturing process L-DED
    Interdisciplinary collaboration in a large research team at several locations
    Special training programmes for your personal and professional development


What you bring to the table:

    Reliability, commitment and the ability to work independently
    Team-orientation and willingness to collaborate with other disciplines
    Degree (Diploma or Master's) in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, mathematics, physics or a related subject with an above-average degree
    Sound knowledge of mechanics and the finite element method, knowledge of continuum mechanics is desirable
    Programming skills (e.g. Python, C++, Matlab, Julia)
    High self-motivation and interest in scientific work
    Good knowledge of German and English


Apply now and become part of a team that is revolutionising the future of component design and taking innovative approaches. We look forward to receiving your application!
