PhD Researcher: Computational Weld Mechanics

LUT; Lappeenranta; Hybride; EUR 29 000 - 40 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

LUT University invites applications for a doctoral researcher in computational weld mechanics. The position focuses on analyzing local heat-affected zone behaviour in welded high-strength steels using computational weld mechanics and phase-transformation modelling.

The role combines thermo-metallurgical modelling, microstructure evolution simulation, and validation of predictive models for performance-driven design. The work is based at the Lappeenranta campus with travel within Europe possible.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in mechanical/materials engineering, welding engineering, computational mechanics or related field.
• Ability to complete doctoral studies within four years.
• Proficiency in English, written and spoken.

Responsabilités

• Analyze local heat-affected zone behaviour in welded high-strength steels.
• Develop and apply computational weld mechanics and phase-transformation modelling.
• Characterize welded joints and validate predictive models against experiments.
• Collaborate with international partners and participate in mobility and conferences.
