Researcher in Materials and Manufacturing - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The department of materials and manufacturing today consists of 35 researchers and PhD students with background in material science, chemistry, mechanics and physics. The research is interdisciplinary and includes the whole chain from casting and coating process and material properties to materials science as well as modelling and simulation. There are 4 main research areas that work closely: Al and other light alloys, cast iron, surface technology and simulation and optimization technology. They form a cutting edge research group at Jönköping University and School of Engineering and have a well-equipped experimental lab for both manufacturing processes and materials characterization. Besides their fundamental research requirements, most of our research projects are industrial oriented and involve high-tech industrial partners.

Working tasks

We are looking for a researcher:

• Responsible for the development experimental and research activities related to non-permanent moulding materials at casting of metals.
• Responsible for development of moulding material recycling at casting.
• Active development of network with industrial partners including casting producers and industrial suppliers.
• Submission of research applications and research plans in collaboration with industrial partners.
• Leading and performing advanced research activities involving both academic and industrial participants.
• Responsible to develop experimental facilities and methods belonging to non-permanent moulding materials at casting of metals.
• Some teaching, supervision and institutional activities will be included.

Qualifications

The candidate must have a PhD degree in materials engineering field and experience from research projects in the field of non-permanent molding materials performed in collaboration between universities and industrial participants. You need to be fluent in English, both orally and written. 

The successful candidate is truly interested in experimental work, pays attention to the reliability and quality of the produced work, has passion for research and eagerly welcomes new challenges, is self-driven, result-oriented and can conduct teamwork in an international and multicultural environment in a respectful manner.

It is merited if you have:

• a specialization within foundry technology
• practical experience in characterization and investigation of thermal and mechanical properties of granular minerals: quartz, olivine, chromite and zirconium-based sand.
• experience of thermal analyses and numerical interpretation of casting phenomena.
• skills in modelling and simulation of phenomena related to casting of metals.
• experience from teaching in related topics and pedagogical education for teaching in higher education.  
• passable skills in Swedish, both orally and written
