Posted: 4 November 2026 - Groningen, Netherlands
The Advanced Production Engineering research group at the University of Groningen offers a one-year postdoctoral position in additive manufacturing of lightweight alloys. The role focuses on designing thermally stable aluminum alloys, developing material-centric geometric optimization guidelines, and conducting post-AM heat treatments to tailor microstructure and properties. The project aims to enable high-quality, high-precision additive manufacturing by addressing challenges in product structure, AM process, and material properties. The position is supported by the SNN project '3D Printkompas 2030' and involves collaboration with industry partners and academic institutions.
