Job description

Offer DescriptionWe are looking for a 𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 to join the University of L’Aquila and TU Vienna to work on understanding how the complex rheology, induced by polymer additives can enhance the tribological performance of lubricants. The research will be two-fold since the student will work on both (i) improving the current status of the numerical tools available in the group and (ii) conducting experiments in Ac2T, a research company based in Vienna ( ), on lubricants with polymer additives. The goal is to arrive to innovative formulation for green lubricants having the same performance of the classical less environmental friendly oil lubricants. This research will be supervised by Dr. Luca Biancofiore in University of L’Aquila and Dr. Bernhard Scheichl at TU Vienna and is part of a collaboration with researchers at Ac2T (Stefan Krenn and Shreyas Jalikop). A double degree will be awarded at the end of the PhD by both University of L’Aquila and TU Vienna and a period of 18 months will be spent by the student in Vienna between TU Vienna and Ac2T facilities. The post addresses graduates holding a university degree (master) in engineering, physics, applied mathematics or related subjects. A strong foundation in fluid mechanics and its analytical and numerical methods, rheology or tribology and programming experience (possibly in Python or C++), and good communication skills are essential. If you’re interested, please reach out to me via email (not LinkedIn), using the subject line “[Application] Viscoelastic lubricants”. Deadline to apply is on July 22nd on this website .
