About the job
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
As part of the NRC IPN grant “FramSki – The future of responsible skiing” (FramSki), we have a vacancy for a 3-year PhD position at the Senter for Sports Facility and Sports Technology (SIAT), hosted by the NTNU, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The transition to fluorine-free ski waxes in competitive and recreational skiing demands innovative solutions for reducing ski-snow friction. In the FramSki project, we tackle friction at the macro, micro and nano level in an interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with leading industry partners.
This specific PhD project focuses on the development of innovative ski designs and ski sole structuring techniques. You will be part of an innovative team of makers, and you will learn a lot about ski technology and innovation. In this project you will combine analytical thinking, advanced ski-snow friction testing and fast prototyping to experimentally develop innovative new ski designs and ski-sole structuring techniques.
Your immediate leader is Professor
Duties of the position
Plan, execute and document the exploration of a radical a modular ski construction technique for UHMWPE ski soles Plan, execute and document the exploration of a radical a modular ski construction Participate in the friction testing on full-scale skis in friction laboratory Participate in the supervision of Master students and the day-to-day running of the laboratory Write academic papers and submit them to international scientific journals
Required selection criteria
You must have a professionally relevant background in mechanical engineering, product design or equivalent. Documented experience in (fast) prototyping or development of experimental set-ups 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.
