Deadline: 31-12-2012
Job description
You are invited to apply for a PhD position in the field of computational modeling of machining, with research emphasis on the interaction between the material structure and the cutting process. Current issues are related to the modeling of machining of a class of cast iron materials, where the influence of the heterogeneous graphite/pearlite material micro-morphology is studied with respect machinability parameters, like cutting forces, tool wear, etc. In this context we are typically involved in the modeling of temperature and deformation rate sensitivity of the continuously deforming material, combined with ductile fracture modeling.
You are thus expected join our research group and within that environment further develop high profile metal cutting research towards an efficient virtual simulation tool for machining a class of cast iron materials. The research is further strongly linked to the Metal Cutting Research development center (MCR) of Chalmers. MCR-projects are performed in a multidisciplinary environment involving people from departments of Material science and manufacturing and Applied mechanics and in cooperation with industrial partners, e.g. Volvo AB and Volvo Cars Corporation, of MCR and other external (international) partners. Your contribution to the teaching activities at the department of Applied Mechanics is also expected, up to 20% of full time work. The PhD position is time limited to 5 years.
Qualifications
We expect you to have a MSc in solid or structural mechanics or computational mathematics with an emphasis on applied mechanics. Profound knowledge in solid mechanics, continuum mechanics, material mechanics, FEM and computer programming is required.
Since communication of knowledge results is a central part of the work, communicative skills in English (oral as well as in writing) is vital. Furthermore, it will also be expected that you can take on responsibility and have the ability to take own initiatives and, when needed, work independently. At the same time, being a successful researcher also involves working with others as well as disseminating the results within existing and new networks, both within academia but also to industry and society, whereby networking skills, team work skills and quality assurance abilities are important.
Application procedure
The application should be marked with Ref 20120365 and written in English. The application should be sent electronically and be attached as pdf-files, as below:
