Job summary

The PhD position at TU Delft's Mechanical Engineering faculty focuses on MRI flow measurements in inertial dense suspensions as part of the ERC Advanced Grant project IDeS. You will join a team investigating densely‑laden pipe flows and use MRI and velocimetry to reveal velocity and concentration profiles in opaque suspensions.

No prior MRI experience is required, but a willingness to push velocimetry boundaries is essential.

Qualifications

• MSc in a relevant technical field.
• Hands-on experimental work experience.
• Strong Python or MATLAB data processing skills.
• Proficient in written and spoken English.

Responsibilities

• Conduct experimental research on dense suspensions using MRI and related techniques.
• Publish results in peer‑reviewed journals and present at conferences.
• Mentor BSc and MSc students and contribute to project meetings.
• Engage in professional development activities and collaborate across teams.
