About the opportunity
At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) we are looking for a postdoc to work on micromagnetic modeling of a novel rare-earth-free permanent magnet system. In a close-collaboration research project between three DTU departments, we will investigate if we can realize a new rare-earth-free permanent magnet using novel processing routes. We will model, synthesize and characterize the rare-earth-free permanent magnet, with the aim of improving its properties in an iterate matter throughout the project.
