Résumé du poste

TU Delft's Aerospace Engineering faculty invites applications for an 18-month postdoctoral position in the Aerospace Structures and Materials group to advance understanding of hydrogen-induced degradation in a hydrogen fuel storage system for continued airworthiness within the HAPSS project.

You will collaborate with Concious Aerospace and TU Delft researchers to develop certifiable development approaches, expand damage-tolerance analyses, set inspection intervals, assess NDT techniques, and

Qualifications

• Strong scientific background and research experience in fracture mechanics and fatigue.
• Familiar with risk analysis and risk management.
• Ability and curiosity to engage with multi-disciplinary stakeholders.
• Good collaboration and communication skills with both academic colleagues and industrial project partners.
• Ability to conduct independent research and publish scientific results.
• Experience with cryogenic systems or non-destructive testing is a plus.

Responsabilités

• Expand damage tolerance analysis methodologies to account for hydrogen-induced degradation.
• Establish inspection intervals and maintenance strategies for hydrogen-induced degradation.
• Assess the effectiveness of non-destructive inspection techniques for detecting hydrogen-induced damage in representative metallic structures, and develop approaches to integrate inspection into damage-tolerant design and maintenance programs.
