About this position
Postdoc opportunity at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in collaboration with Canon Production Printing on sustainable printing, with a focus on the computational side of ink performance. The project combines polymer science, rheology, mechanical modeling, and finite element simulations to develop eco-friendly latex-based and UV-curable inks for future printing and packaging applications.
You will work in the Processing and Performance of Materials group and collaborate with two experimentally oriented PhD researchers already on the project. The role centers on building multi-scale models, extending the Eindhoven Glass Polymer Model, linking chemistry, processing, and performance, and validating models with experimental data. The work is highly interdisciplinary and connects academic research with industrial needs.
Research keywords: sustainable materials, ink mechanics, computational physics/mechanics, numerical simulation, Fortran, Python, FEM, polymer-based coatings, data-driven optimization.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computational Science, or a related field; strong numerical modeling background; experience with simulation tools and programming; excellent English (C1); ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and with industrial partners.
Funding and conditions: full-time employment for 3 years. Salary is listed as €4,422–€5,760 gross per month (postdoc scale), plus holiday allowance, year-end bonus, pension, training opportunities, and other employment benefits. The vacancy is based in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
How to apply: submit your application online via the vacancy portal. Include a cover letter, CV with publications and three references, and up to five best publications. The position remains open until filled, so early application is encouraged.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
