Scholarship Description:
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Finite Element Modeling of Residual Stress in Multiple Pass Dissimilar Metal Welding
The structural integrity group at PSI is dedicated to investigating the influence of material ageing phenomena on the lifetime and structural integrity of power plant components. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to this research by employing finite element modeling techniques to study multi-pass, dissimilar metal welding. This role also involves the publication of results in scientific journals and presentations at international conferences.
Eligibility: Applicants must hold a PhD degree in Material Science or Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field, with a solid background in finite element simulation of welding. First-hand experience with MSC Simufact and/or MARC is considered an asset, and good English communication skills are a requirement.
Required Documents: Interested candidates are required to submit their application online, including a CV, cover letter, PhD certificate, and addresses of referees, by the specified deadline.
How to Apply: To apply for the Postdoctoral Fellowship, interested candidates should submit their applications online by 23 February 2024. Ensure to include the addresses of referees for reference checks.
