Postdoc - Electrospinning of fiber materials from recycled textiles

At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Materials and Production a position as Postdoc in Electrospinning of fiber materials is open for appointment from August 1st 2026 or soon hereafter. The position is available for a period of 18 months.

Department of Materials and Production (MP) is a wide-ranging research and educational environment at Aalborg University. The Department’s mission is to meet the future’s demands for new materials and production systems by directing the whole value chain from basic material understanding, materials’ applications in mechanical constructions, industrial production and management. The department has several strong, international and innovative research groups which comprise everything from basic science to strategic and applicable research. The activities encompass research as well as education within materials, mechanics, physics, production technique and industrial management and innovation. Benefitting the industry and additional collaborators several innovative and unconventional collaborations have been and are developed through interdisciplinary co-operations. Thereby, as an employee at the department you will become a part of an international research environment where focus is on innovation, knowledge sharing/building and interdisciplinary collaborations.

The position is within the group on Materials Science and Engineering, which bridges the traditional boundaries between the areas of materials physics, materials processing, and materials science. One of the key goals is to synthesise proper materials, whose properties can be controlled by tailoring their microstructure and to develop a direct link as well as a closed loop between processing and fabrication of materials on one hand, and material characterisation and simulation-theoretical modelling on the other. Composite and nanostructured materials are in focus due to their superior functional and structural properties.
