Postdoc: 4D X-ray Strain Analysis for Sustainable Materials

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet; Ørsted; On-site; DKK 450,000 - 590,000; Full time

Job summary

DTU, Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Section for Manufacturing Engineering, invites applications for a postdoc position within the Lab4DMade project. The role focuses on developing software to analyze local strain using Lab-4DµXRD and applying crystal plasticity models to study microstructural evolution under mechanical loading.

You will work closely with senior scientists, technicians, Postdocs and PhDs, and collaborate with external partners, including Xnovo Technology ApS.

Qualifications

• PhD degree (or equivalent) is required.
• Excellent English communication skills are essential.
• Experience with synchrotron or laboratory 3D diffraction imaging is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Develop software to analyze elastic strain tensors and local plastic strains from Lab-4DµXRD data.
• Perform in situ Lab-4DµXRD experiments to follow microstructural evolution during tensile loading of aluminum samples with second-phase particles.
• Conduct synchrotron experiments to validate Lab-4DµXRD results.
• Implement crystal plasticity finite element models using experimental data to understand local strain heterogeneities.
