PhD scholarship in simulations of structure evolution inside metals - DTU Construct
On-siteKongens Lyngby, Capital Region, Denmark
Job Summary
Apply existing crystal plasticity simulation software to predict the evolution of internal structures in metals during necking and ductile failure. Incorporate stochastic elements into simulations to introduce structure formation at scales below those normally addressed by crystal plasticity. Validate modelling procedures using first-of-its-kind experimental data from synchrotron-based imaging techniques. Join an international, multidisciplinary team of approximately 10 PhDs and postdocs within DTU Construct and DTU Physics to understand and predict the mechanical behavior of metals. The appointment is a full-time position for three years, commencing October 1, 2026, under the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
Required Qualifications
- Background in materials science, physics or mechanics
- Experience with finite-element modelling and/or crystal plasticity simulations
- Strong programming skills
- Strong written communication skills
- You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree
Desired Qualifications
- Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary collaboration
- Strong team spirit
