About the job

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

The PhD position is in the newly granted Collaborative and Knowledge-building Project Collaborative Project ‘Tailoring Metallurgically bonded nanoscale interfaces between Al, Cu and Ni involving Deformation enhanced diffusion (MAD). In this project NTNU and SINTEF, in collaboration with industry partners, will develop, design and extend the application range of cold-welding technology. The basic idea behind the MAD project is to control temperature and tailor plastic deformation at the nanoscale by exploiting the potential of deformation-enhanced diffusion, with the objective of making strong cold-welded joints between Al and Cu (and Ni). By microstructuring the joint geometry, we aim to generate an interface nanostructure that provides optimized strength and conductivity for electrical applications, such as battery systems produced by Corvus Energy. The development will be conducted in situ, within a focused ion beam (FIB) instrument, which serves as a testbed for creating the desired metallurgically bonded nanoscale interfaces. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) will be used for structural and chemical characterization of the joints at the nanoscale, Use of the NORTEM infrastructure at TEM Gemini Center will be important in the PhD study, including data analysis and method development.This is also an exciting time to join the TEM Gemini Centre as we are currently installing a new top instrument that will be operational by August 2025. MAD will lay a foundation for fabrication advanced multi-material components and products in Norway based on cold welding and solid-state additive manufacturing, where a combination of mechanical and electrical properties is crucial for functionality. The industry partners in the project are Hydro ASA, Corvus Energy AS and Professor Grong AS.

Your immediate leader is the Head of Department of Physics (https://www.ntnu.edu/physics) .

Duties of the position


	Perform original research, collaborate closely with other researchers in SFI PhysMet, TEM Gemini Centre and the MAD project group.
	Plan and carry out experiments according to the project goals with the support of industry partners.
	Write and publish journal articles and present results at international scientific conferences.
	Perform advanced TEM studies and microstructure studies of cold-welded joints of Al, Cu and Ni.  
	Develop analysis methods and high throughput data analysis of TEM experiments.


Required selection criteria


	You must have a professionally relevant background in nanotechnology, physics and/or materials technology.
	Your education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree program, where 120 credits are obtained at master's level
	You must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education.
	Current master's students can apply, but the master's degree must be obtained and documented before the start of the position and no later than 15 August 2025.
	You must meet the requirements for admission to https://www.ntnu.edu/nv/phd/admission.
