NTNU Offers Exciting PhD Position in Structural Engineering
Are you passionate about advancing the field of structural engineering and making a positive impact on the future of energy transportation? NTNU, in collaboration with Nordic Energy Research, is offering a unique opportunity for a PhD Candidate to join the groundbreaking research project “Material and Structural Integrity Assessment for Safe Nordic Hydrogen Transportation Infrastructure (MatHias).”
The MatHias project, which involves five international research partners and several industrial partners, aims to develop safe and efficient hydrogen energy transport technology. As hydrogen becomes increasingly important as a clean energy carrier, the need for reliable infrastructure is crucial. The PhD candidate will work closely with partners to develop a novel local hydrogen-induced failure model and implement it into an existing predictive framework for hydrogen embrittlement.
The ideal candidate will have a background in mechanical/structural engineering or computational material science, with a strong focus on mechanical properties. Additionally, experience in continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, and using ABAQUS for modeling material failure is preferred. Strong written and oral English and Norwegian language skills are also required.
In addition to conducting independent research and publishing in top-ranking journals, the PhD candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading international research groups in the field. Personal characteristics such as motivation, ambition, and excellent communication skills are highly valued.
The position offers a competitive salary starting at NOK 532,200 per annum, with a 3-year employment period. The successful candidate must be admitted to NTNU’s PhD program in Structural Engineering and participate in an organized PhD program during the employment period.
If you are ready to take on this exciting challenge and contribute to cutting-edge research in structural engineering, submit your application by the deadline on April 5, 2024. Join NTNU in creating knowledge for a better world and shaping the future of energy transportation.
