Job description

Group of Multiscale Mechanics, Department of Thermal and Fluid Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente, is looking for an experienced and motivated postdoc in the field of computational mechanics, skilled in programming and image segmentation.

The project is related to multiscale modeling of mechanical and physical properties of thin carbon/boron-nitride nanotube (CNT/BNNT) films. The goal of the project is to calibrate an existing numerical model and reproduce the realistic mechanical properties of the ultrathin CNT/BNNT films. One of the central challenges of the project is the exact reproduction of microstructure of these films. Addressing this challenge would require involving advanced techniques of SEM image analysis (segmentation, statistical feature extraction etc.)

The project is part of a larger collaboration involving the Faculties of the University of Twente and a large industrial company.

Requirements

  • Holds a PhD degree in computational mechanics or a related field and have experience in research, which is apparent from publications in reputable academic journals, presentations in international scientific conferences, and other academic activities;
  • Knowledge of and experience in machine learning techniques in application to image analysis and segmentation
  • Conduct (fundamental and applied) research within a multidisciplinary environment
  • Good communication skills and an excellent command of English

Conditions of employment

  • A full-time position for 1 year
  • Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU).
  • You will receive a gross monthly salary ranging from € 3.378,- to € 5.331,-
  • There are excellent benefits including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, and a solid pension scheme.
  • A minimum of 232 leave hours in case of full-time employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A full-time employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis.
  • Free access to sports facilities on campus.
  • A family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid).
  • Excellent career support and courses for your professional and personal development.
