PhD in Tribology: Steel Surfaces with Enhanced Tactile Feel

Have you ever thought of creating your own surface out of stainless steel? We are looking for pro-active researchers who have that dream and willing to devoting themselves into creating new sheet surface with predefined feel like soft, smooth or silky.

The relative importance of the surface roughness of steel sheet is well recognized by the leading steel manufacturers. It is well known that surface texturing can be used as a means for improving the performance of components exposed to friction and wear. A surface finish with a soft silky feel has a high potential to increase sales within the domestic and automotive appliances domains. While current knowledge on the relation between contact mechanics, tribology and human tactile perception is relatively limited.

The objective of this PhD project is to produce steel sheet with pre-defined human perception of the surface roughness in an economic, clean and safe way. You are expected to do a combination of advanced predictive simulations and experimental work on skin ?C roughness interactions, aimed at understanding friction at the interface. A translation to touch is done with panel testing.

Our offer
We offer a scientific education on a multidisciplinary subject. Successful applicants will be appointed on a 4 year contract as a researcher. The salary scale starts at ?2042, -gross per month for the first year and extends to a maximum of ? 2612, -gross per month in the fourth year (in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities). Additionally, the University of Twente provides excellent facilities for professional and personal development, a holiday allowance (amounts to 8%), an end-of-year bonus (amounts to 8,3%) and a number of additional benefits.

Your profile
You are a highly motivated, enthusiastic and fluent English speaking researcher with an MSc degree in mechanical engineering, applied physics or chemical engineering or in a closely related discipline, with theoretical as well as experimental skills and some knowledge on Tribology. A background in bio-tribology or metal forming, especially cold rolling or forging, is very welcome.

Application
Your application should consist of:
A full Curriculum Vitae (including a list of all courses + marks, contact information for at least two academic references)
Research statement indicating your background and interests, and how it aligns with the current position
Please combine the above required documents into one PDF document and send your application to the following contacts:
