About the job
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate for a 3-year PhD position in molecular dynamics simulation with a focus on mineral processing. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research aimed at advancing our understanding of mineral behavior and interactions at the molecular level. Sustainable mineral processing is critical for the efficient and environmentally friendly extraction of critical raw materials, essential for the green shift and the development of renewable energy technologies. The successful candidate will work within a multidisciplinary team, utilizing advanced simulation techniques to explore the fundamental processes governing mineral processing.
The successsful candidate will be supervised by Professor and will be part of the Mineral Processing Laboratory at NTNU (). Research and education at the Mineral Processing Laboratory at NTNU provide vital knowledge on sustainable processing of ores and minerals and the recovery of valuable components from industrial waste. The laboratory is unique in Norway and plays a strategically important role in the shift towards a greener and more circular economy.
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
Your immediate leader is the Head of Department of Geoscience and Petroleum.
Duties of the position
Conduct and develop computational models to investigate the behaviours and interactions of minerals during sustainable processing. Analyse and interpret simulation data to derive meaningful insights and conclusions about the molecular mechanisms in sustainable mineral processing. Collaborate with team members and external partners to integrate simulation results with experimental findings, fostering a holistic understanding of sustainable mineral processing phenomena. Prepare and publish research findings in high-impact scientific journals and present results at national and international conferences.
Required selection criteria
You must have a professionally relevant background in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mineral Processing or a related field. 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.
