PhD Candidate in Hybrid Manufacturing Processes Enabled by Metal Solid-State AM
NTNU
- Trondheim, Trøndelag
- Midlertidlig
- Fulltid
- develop and prototype new hybrid manufacturing processes (chains) by using solid-state additive manufacturing, formative, and subtractive processing methods
- test and validate the developed new hybrid processes with recycled aluminium alloys and typical components
- perform mechanical and microstructural testing, characterization and analysis to assess the properties and performance of components produced by hybrid processes
- investigate the process behaviours, mechanisms and models to improve the process capabilities of hybrid manufacturing
- conduct and publish high-level research at peer-reviewed journals and international conferences to qualify for PhD career
- take part in the mandatory PhD research education programme
- you must have a professionally relevant background in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Materials Processing
- your education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree programme, where 120 credits are obtained at master’s level
- you must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education
- you must meet the requirements for admission to
- documented strong background in process development in metal forming, friction stir welding or additive manufacturing
- excellent written and oral English
- knowledge and testing skills in mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminium alloys
- experience in the design and development of machine tools
- experience in CNC machine operation
- experience with modelling of material, process, or product behavior (like using analytical, finite element (FE) analysis, data-driven modelling approaches)
- highly motivated, independent and enthusiastic

- CV and certificates
- transcripts and diplomas for bachelor's and master's degrees. If you have not completed the master's degree, you must submit a confirmation that the master's thesis has been submitted.
- a copy of the master's thesis. If you recently have submitted your master's thesis, you can attach a draft of the thesis. Documentation of a completed master's degree must be presented before taking up the position.
