2 PhD Students Smart and safe lightweight structures
University of Twente Engineering Technology
Enschede, 7500 AE (Overijssel), 38 hours per week
University of Twente
Job description
------------------------------
The research, placed in the 6th Framework Program of the European
Commission, concerns innovative developments in the design, production
and
application of gypsum plasterboards in lightweight steel structures.
The
research focuses on the development of mixes containing
anhydrite/hemi-hydrate/cement binders, admixtures, aggregates, fillers,
photo-catalytic materials, fibers etc. These mixes are based on ideas
recently developed by the research group. An important aspect is the
particle size distribution of the mix, from several mm to the nanometre
range. Based on underlying theory, European building codes, and the
construction industry's needs, new types of plasterboard will be
developed.
The study will also include research, evaluation and application of
alternative ingredients and smart components. Besides this, the
successful
candidate will develop new measurement and processing techniques. Unit
operations such as mixing, spraying etc an integral part of the
research
project. Products will be developed that meet the current trends in raw
materials use, production techniques, working conditions, fire safety,
aesthetics etc. One PhD will focus on the fresh mix properties and
production (vacancy number 06/091), the other one the hardening process
and
the properties of the hardened product (vacancy number 06/092).
Requirements
------------------------------
Required education/skills:University Graduate
Excellent computational facilities and a well-equipped cement/concrete
laboratory are available for this research project. Adjacent to this
project, 4 other PhD candidates research cement hydration, sustainable
building, self-compacting concrete and earth-moist concrete. Scientific
institutions and the industrial sector have shown great interest in
this
study, which is carried out with a consortium of industrial partners.
The
research group maintains close contacts with construction industry and
public authorities, and regularly convenes with their representatives
that
form our user group. Furthermore, there is frequent and intensive
contact
with other researchers, both domestic and abroad (mostly Europe and
China).
We ask and offer:
A MSc degree, or equivalent (in civil engineering, mechanical
engineering,
earth sciences, physics, chemical engineering, or similar discipline)
and
that you have experience/interest in theoretical and experimental work.
The
ideal candidate will show an ability to develop and maintain good
working
relationships with external contacts and have excellent communication
skills, particularly in written and spoken English.
We offer an interesting temporary research position in a dynamic and
international environment. You will be appointed for a period of one
year,

starts
at €1.933,- gross per month increasing to €2.472,- gross per month in
the
fourth year.
