Research Scientist / Senior Scientist within Computational Materials Science and Engineering with focus on forming processes and recycling
Applicants are invited for a Research Scientist or Senior Scientist position at SINTEF Industry within the Materials processing and modelling Research group. The primary objective of this position will be to extend on-going and establish new activities within industrial production and materials processing with emphasis on mathematical modelling and forming processes, linking the process to product properties toward low carbon products and the use of recycled materials.
Qualifications:
We seek candidates at the PhD level in Mechanical Engineering, Materials science, Applied Physics, or related fields with a background in mathematical modelling in relation to metallurgical processes. We are looking for enthusiastic research scientists that work systematically, have highly developed analytical capabilities and are solution oriented. Ability to work in project teams and meeting tight deadlines are necessary.
The candidate must have experience in mathematical modeling (transport phenomena, thermo-mechanics, and numerical methods/programming) and/or computational metallurgy and material design (multi-scale approaches, microstructure formation) linking process-microstructure-property-performance. The candidate should preferably a metallurgical background and have understanding for experimental work and characterisation methods and experience from one or more of the following fields:
Metallurgical and manufacturing processes (casting, forming, additive manufacturing)
Digitalization (Artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins, data science)
The desired skills are:
PhD or equivalent research competence
Documented academic and project development skills (preparation of project applications and project management)
Professional networks within the Norwegian process and/or manufacturing industry
Ability to work on several initiatives at the same time
To translate the industry's needs into solutions through projects
Excellent documentation (reporting), communication and networking skills, and the ability to communicate well in English, both orally and written
A good grasp of, or willingness to learn written and spoken Norwegian
We offer:
Exciting and independent work tasks in an international professional environment that is in growth and development
Great opportunities for professional and personal development in an organization where responsibility and initiative are set high
Flexible working hours, good pension, insurance and well fare schemes and competitive salary
The position is in Oslo, Norway.
Our research team is working on the following areas: Solidification and casting, thermo-mechanical forming, additive manufacturing, physical metallurgy, and microstructure formation and alloy design. By linking materials and processes to properties and performance, we also target the development of low carbon processes and products. Application materials include aluminium alloys, steels, cast iron and silicon-based materials.
