Job summary

Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for a Doctoral student in Materials Science focused on enabling predictive design of 3D-shaped products from pulp fibres. The project combines experiments, mechanics and multiscale characterisation to reveal how fibre properties govern formability, damage and shape retention in 3D forming.

You will collaborate across Chalmers, KTH and industry partners within FibRe, with eight areas of advance and a teaching commitment up to 20% of full-time

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Fibre & Polymer Technology or related field.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience from experimental research, thesis work, or industrial projects related to materials, mechanics, polymers, or modelling.

Responsibilities

• Take advanced courses within Chalmers graduate education.
• Perform experiments, multiscale characterisation and data analysis to develop predictive design principles for fibre-based manufacturing.
• Publish in journals and present at conferences, collaborate with industrial partners.
• Contribute to development of sustainable alternatives to fossil-based plastics.
• Teaching at Chalmers’ undergraduate level up to 20% of full-time work.
