We have a vacancy for a 3-year PhD Candidate within the field of “Metal Forming and Advanced Manufacturing” at Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
The PhD candidate will be part of the NTNU Aluminium Product Innovation Center (NAPIC). NAPIC is also part of the MANULAB - a Norwegian Manufacturing Laboratory Infrastructure project - where state-of-the-art laboratory technology for aluminium forming, welding, additive manufacturing, hybrid processing, assembly, and material characterization is available. NAPIC is hosted by the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. The centre is a unique collaboration between NTNU, SINTEF, aluminium manufacturing industries, and select customers. The aim is to explore new aluminum product opportunities, employing a research-driven innovation approach based on crossdisciplinary collaboration between product design and development, manufacturing, materials technology, and product application. NAPIC is on the way to become a world leader in research-driven aluminium product innovation.
The position will be directly or indirectly related to industrial research projects primarily directed towards advanced electrical vehicles (EV) manufacturing, seeking to innovate within lightweight product applications such as battery trays, chassis and suspension systems, safety/crashworthiness systems and components, etc. With the ongoing transformation to Industry 4.0, the manufacturing sector undergoes a drastic shift from traditional mass production to more on-demand customized production capabilities, with reduced manufacturing investments and improved sustainability footprint.
