PhD Researcher in Machining of Cast Components

Are you passionate about advanced manufacturing and want to contribute to the next generation of sustainable powertrains? We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at Chalmers University of Technology, where you will work with industry leaders such as Volvo and Scania on cutting-edge research in the machining of cast components for heavy-duty trucks.

Project Description

The research area falls under the umbrella of "Machining Cast Components for Next Generation Powertrains". This includes investigating the machinability of a range of cast materials such as compacted graphite iron (CGI) and spheroidal graphite iron (SGI). The research will focus on industrial applications related to cylinder heads and engine blocks for heavy-duty trucks. Specific machining operations will include milling, long hole drilling and deburring, complemented by material characterization and surface texture analysis.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct advanced research on the machining of cast materials for next-generation powertrains.
  • Develop and optimize machining processes, including milling, long-hole drilling and deburring.
  • Perform material characterization and surface texture analysis.
  • Work closely with industry partners and CentreX researchers.
  • Publish research results in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Present at international conferences.
  • Contribute to the academic environment at Chalmers through teaching and mentoring activities.
Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Production Engineering, or a related field.
  • Background in production engineering (incl. machining processes).
  • Experience with material characterization techniques and surface texture analysis.
  • Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
Meritorious Qualifications
  • Meritorious educational qualifications include specialization (courses, M.Sc. Thesis project, etc.) in machining/metal cutting, material characterization, or surface integrity analysis.
  • Experience with operating machine tools (lathe, milling machine/machining center).
  • Experience with machinability assessment (e.g., measuring tool wear, process monitoring).
  • Experience with collaborative research projects and industrial partnerships.
  • Previous experience with machining research in a lab environment.
  • Strong communication skills in English and Swedish.
Contract Terms

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
