Job description
The concerted research between M2i, TNO and the Holst Centre aims at developing the technology for modular ultra light and ultra thin, flexible, easy-to-wear electronic products such as lighting and signage devices, reusable and disposable sensor devices, deformable solar panels and displays. An important aspect of this program is to gain knowledge about the mechanical behavior, reliability and durability of these flexible devices during production and during actual usage.
The scientific aim of the project is to develop tools that enable to understand and predict the life-time of multilayer laminates taking into account the effect of visco-elastic and/or plastic material behavior during cyclic loading and the environment, in particular relative humidity, on the development of the mechanical damage. The tools to be developed comprise suitable experimental methods to impose a known stress/strain state on a chosen multilayer material and to understand the underlying physical mechanisms. The location is TU Eindhoven.
Requirements
Candidates for the PhD positions should have a solid background in materials science with substantial interest in experimental work. The candidates should have a Masters degree in materials science, chemical engineering or a related field. Interest in failure analysis and/or microstructural characterization is required and experience is further an advantage.
Conditions of employment
When fulfilling a PhD position at the M2i, the candidate will be given the status of PhD Researcher. He/she will have employee status and will be eligible for all the employee benefits offered by the M2i. The contract is for 4 years. Gross salary for the first year is EUR 2,242 gross per month. This amount increases to EUR 2,587 gross per month in the fourth year. The PhD thesis should be completed at the end of the 4th year term with the M2i. The researcher and the supervisor will draw up a plan for any additional training and supervision that is specifically needed.
