Postdoc in experimental Solid Mechanics and Neutron Imaging

Job description

The Division of Material and Structural Mechanics at KTH is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop advanced neutron imaging methods and apply them to problems in experimental solid mechanics and materials science. The position focuses on wavelength-resolved (time-of-flight) neutron imaging, enabling quantitative analysis of phase composition, strain, and microstructural evolution in engineering materials under load. The research will combine in-situ mechanical testing with neutron imaging at large-scale facilities such as the European Spallation Source (ESS) and international beamlines, with particular emphasis on hydrogen embrittlement and phase transformations in metallic materials. The work involves both experimental design and execution, as well as development of robust data analysis workflows for extracting physically meaningful information from complex imaging datasets.

The position is part of a larger research i...
