About this position

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is advertising a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellow in Process Metallurgy at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in Trondheim, Norway.

The project focuses on process metallurgy, high-temperature materials science, the thermodynamics of refractory metals, and the production of specialty alloys using new carbon-free methods. The postdoctoral researcher will work in a research environment connected to NTNU, SINTEF, Norwegian industry, and EU project partners, with emphasis on refractory-slag-metal thermodynamics and thermodynamic modelling.

Research keywords: process metallurgy, high-temperature thermodynamics, refractory metals, specialty alloys, FACTSage, database building for thermodynamic simulations, electrochemistry, materials science.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD in materials science, process metallurgy, or a similar field. Required experience includes high-temperature thermodynamic experiments, modelling with FACTSage, and documented experience building specialized databases for thermodynamic simulations. Teaching experience and excellent written and oral English are also required. Prior collaboration with NTNU/SINTEF and the Norwegian metallurgical industry is preferred.

Funding: the position is externally funded by the Norwegian Research Council and the EU Horizon program. Salary starts at NOK 633,400 gross per year before tax, depending on qualifications and seniority.

Application: apply electronically via Jobbnorge.no by 2026-09-11.
