About this position

Postdoc in CFD Modelling of Continuous-Fiber 3D Printing at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct), Kongens Lyngby, Denmark.

This postdoctoral opening sits in the EU-funded ASPIRE project and focuses on computational fluid dynamics, OpenFOAM, additive manufacturing / 3D printing, materials science, and multiphysics simulation. The successful candidate will develop a high-fidelity CFD model for extrusion-based printing of continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastics, linking matrix flow, fiber tension, fiber alignment, and interfacial behavior to printed part quality.

The work combines process modelling with fiber-matrix interaction analysis and may include coupling CFD with an FEM solver such as CalculiX. The project also explores reduced-order modelling for faster simulations and possible integration into slicer and toolpath-planning software. Research themes mentioned in the ad include digital twins, smart materials, automation, robotics, and digitally guided optimization of continuous-fiber 3D printing.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD degree (or equivalent) is required. Strong experience with CFD and numerical modelling is expected, ideally in polymer processing or additive manufacturing. Hands-on OpenFOAM experience is important, and experience with coupled/multiphysics simulation, rheological constitutive modelling, fiber-reinforced polymers, reduced-order modelling, or overset/moving-mesh methods is an advantage.

Funding and terms: this is a full-time postdoc for 2 years and 8 months. Salary follows DTU’s collective agreement, with possible supplements. No stipend amount is stated.

How to apply: submit the online application through the provided portal and upload one PDF containing the cover letter, CV, academic diplomas (MSc/PhD in English), and list of publications. Deadline: 25 September 2026 (23:59 Danish time).

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent. Strong background in computational fluid dynamics, numerical modelling, or multiphase/coupled flow simulation is expected, ideally applied to polymer processing or additive manufacturing. Hands-on experience with OpenFOAM is required, along with the ability to develop, extend, or couple custom solvers. Experience with coupled or multiphysics simulation, such as linking CFD with an FEM solver like CalculiX, is desired. Additional advantages include knowledge of fiber-reinforced polymers, rheological constitutive modelling, reduced-order modelling, and overset/moving-mesh or fluid-structure interaction methods.

How to apply

Apply online via the provided Oracle Cloud application portal. Submit one PDF containing the cover letter, CV, academic diplomas (MSc/PhD in English), and list of publications. Applications must be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 23:59 Danish time.
