This PhD project at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) explores dynamic space–time interfaces for high-speed THz beam control . The work sits at the intersection of photonics, electromagnetics, structured waves, nanofabrication, and experimental terahertz systems, with a strong focus on the emerging sub-THz regime (approximately 0.3–1 THz). You will investigate what becomes possible when a THz interface changes while the wave is interacting with it. The project aims to develop dynamically...

About this position

A one-year postdoctoral position is available at the University of Groningen in the Advanced Production Engineering (APE) research group within ENTEG, Faculty of Science and Engineering. The project focuses on additive manufacturing of lightweight alloys, with a particular emphasis on enabling high-quality and high-precision additive manufacturing of aluminum alloy components.

The research is situated in an industrially and academically important area of manufacturing science. Additive manufacturing makes it possible to create complex geometries and internal features that are difficult or impossible to produce with conventional subtractive methods. At the same time, current AM processes can suffer from reduced dimensional control and compromised surface integrity. This postdoc aims to address those limitations through an integrated approach spanning product structure, AM process, and materials properties.

The project outcomes include material-centric design guidelines for geometric optimization to compensate for shape deviation, post-AM heat treatment strategies to tailor microstructure, and experimentally validated relationships between microstructure and properties relevant to printed metal parts. The work will involve designing thermally stable Al-alloys for additive manufacturing, developing geometric optimization guidance, and refining heat treatment routes for improved microstructure and performance.

This is a strong opportunity for researchers interested in materials science, manufacturing engineering, and process-structure-property relationships in metal additive manufacturing. The posting does not list funding details in the provided text, but it is presented as a formal one-year postdoc appointment. The application deadline is 2026-12-10.

Applicants should use the provided AcademicTransfer application link to submit their materials before the deadline and consult the vacancy page for further instructions.
