Job description
Ghent University is a top 100 university worldwide and one of the major universities in Belgium, with more than 44,000 students and 15,000 staff members. The Electrical Energy Laboratory (EELAB) at UGent received a research fund from FWO (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, Flanders),) for research Project “Computational efficient multiphysics-based topology design of high-performance electric machines employing additive manufacturing”.
This project aims at developing smart parameterized multiphysics models for the electric machines. As a PhD student, you will contribute to the development of high-fidelity free-form parameterization models for modeling electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical properties of electric machines especially, a permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance machine. This work is very close collaboration with a second PhD student who will work about data-efficient topology optimization of electric machines.
Job profile
- You hold a master of science in electromechanical or electrical engineering.
- You are motivated, creative and have a passion for academic research. You have an affinity with both experimental research and simulation software.
- You have a strong technical knowledge, expertise and experience in the domain of electric machines, especially multiphysics simulations of electric machines.
- You have good communication skills in English.
- You like challenging scientific research in a multidisciplinary and international context.
Offer
- We offer a full-time position as a doctoral fellow, consisting of an initial period of 12 months, which - after a positive evaluation, will be extended to a total maximum of 48 months.
