Postdoc: Hydrogen Safety for Airworthy Aircraft

Delft University of Technology via AcademicTransfer; Netherlands; Sur place; EUR 42 000 - 54 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Aerospace Structures and Materials group invites applications for an 18‑month postdoc position focused on hydrogen‑induced degradation in hydrogen fuel storage systems for continued airworthiness.

You will collaborate with Concious Aerospace and TU Delft researchers to develop certificaton ready development approaches, expand damage tolerance analyses, set inspection intervals, and disseminate results through journals and conferences.

Qualifications

• PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related subject.
• Strong background in fracture mechanics and fatigue research.
• Experience with risk analysis and risk management.
• Ability to work with multi-disciplinary stakeholders.
• Ability to publish scientific results and contribute to dissemination.

Responsabilités

• Develop novel approaches for hydrogen fuel storage systems to ensure airworthiness.
• Expand damage tolerance analyses for hydrogen-induced degradation.
• Establish inspection intervals and maintenance strategies for hydrogen-induced degradation.
• Assess non-destructive testing techniques for hydrogen-induced damage and integrate into design strategies.
• Publish results in journals and present at conferences.
