PhD Opening at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) for Solid Mechanics in Microelectronics Applications

The Electronic Components, Technology and Materials (ECTM) Group at Delft University of Technology is seeking a PhD candidate, who is available immediately. Applicants should have a recent Master degree with a strong research record in solid mechanics: multi-scale/ multi-physics modeling of advanced materials, computational mechanics for materials, structures and energy systems in extreme environments.

This is a four-year research contract position. In the Netherlands, PhD candidate will be employed as junior researcher: they receive a good salary that is linked to funded research projects. The PhD students have full benefit including pension, medical insurance, etc. You may also be eligible for a very attractive tax reduction arrangement according to “30% facility for incoming employees” (see the link https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontenten/belastingdienst/individuals/living_and_working/working_in_another_country_temporarily/you_are_coming_to_work_in_the_netherlands/30_facility_for_incoming_employees/).  

The ECTM Group has access to the world-class micro-fabrication facility: cleanroom for micro-manufacturing at the cutting edge of integrated circuits, MEMS and bioelectronics (https://www.tudelft.nl/en/eemcs/research/facilities/else-kooi-lab/). TU Delft is ranked with a global position in the top 50 (https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/feiten-en-cijfers/tu-delft-in-internationale-rankings/) .

Please submit a letter describing your research interests, a CV, and 3 references to g.q.zhang@tudelft.nl.
