Postdoctor in In-situ process monitoring and machine learning in metal, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

we are seeking a post-doctoral researcher with interest in new generation of in-situ process monitoring tools and their utilization for increasing productivity and robustness of PBF-LB processing, development of processes for new materials as well as in-situ tailoring of microstructure. Research will cover numerous challenges of material, microstructure and process development using state-of-the-art process monitoring tools combined with data-driven decision-making, involving when appropriate AI/ML methodologies.

Major responsibilities
The position is connected to the competence centre CAM2 | Centre for Additive Manufacture – Metal that is focused on material and process development for powder-based metal AM. CAM2 developed 15 novel AM materials for powder-based metal AM over last 5 years in close collaboration with >30 industrial partners. Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to perform your own research as part of the research group. The position involves coordinating specific research projects in the frame of PMAM group at Chalmers, collaborating within academia, industry and with society at large. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master level as well as supervising academic and industrial users of the in-situ process monitoring tools in AM.

Qualifications

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must have:

PhD in materials science, material mechanics and/or production engineering.bPhD degree should generally not be older than three years. Priority given to candidates with a relevant background in powder bed fusion – laser beam (PBF-LB) of metals.
Skills In-situ process monitoring, Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, Materials characterization or Microscopy.
Ability to do teaching and project management and also to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not required, and Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years.

Application procedure
Application is made on Chalmers website.
