Postdoc in Computational Modelling of Chemical Recycling of Composites

Technical University of Denmark - DTU Wind and Energy Systems

Location: Lyngby - Denmark
Salary: €4,800 or £4,222.93 (converted salary*) starting salary per month before taxes, plus benefits
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 29th March 2023
Closes: 28th April 2023

Your overall focus will be to develop and validate  computational models of chemical recycling/solvolylis of composite wind turbine blades. You will work with nearby colleagues, and with both academic and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad. Your primary tasks will be to:

  • development of computational models of material dissolution, flow, deformation and phase transition during the chemical recycling of polymer/glass composites,
  • predictive modelling and optimization of chemical recycling of composites, using finite element software Abaqus, materials subroutines and Python programming language. 
  • validation of the model, using experimental data.

Qualifications
You are expected to have a PhD degree in materials science, applied mechanics, mechanics, mechanical engineering or related disciplines, and have an experience or good knowledge of mechanics of materials, computational micromechanics, finite element simulations (ABAQUS, with subroutines) as well as programming in a higher-level language (Python, including Numpy package).  Demonstrated experience in preparing scientific publications in high level international journals is expected.

Knowledge and experience in the computational modelling of structural evolution of solids, phase transition or flow of materials will be advantageous.
