1. Fully Funded PhD Position in redox flow batteries
Summary of PhD Program:
The research project focuses on the development of electrolytes and electrode materials for next-generation flow batteries. The energy density of such batteries is relatively low and directly linked to active material solubility. Concentrated electrolytes, however, invoke various challenges that prevent practical implementation. In this project we will explore mediated redox reactions to decouple energy density from solubility, by placing solid capacity boosters in the electrolyte tanks.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cellulose Aerogels for Thermal Superinsulation
Summary of PhD Program:
The Laboratory for Building Energy Materials and Components develops the next generation of porous materials for thermal insulation, carbon capture, sorption and other applications, often in close contact with industry. We aim to improve the sustainability of buildings and industrial processes with high-performance and/or low eco-impact materials.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Biology on the Discovery of Multimodal Biomarkers
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will focus on the characterization of molecular determinants that lead to stalled wound healing and chronic wound development. The student will guide analyses of datasets obtained through a comprehensive proteomic and metabolomic characterization of wound exudates. The PhD student will work closely both with clinical partners as well as with Empa groups responsible for the translation of research results. The PhD candidate will implement existing and develop novel approaches for biomarker identification from high throughput molecular measurements.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in thermal energy storage materials for solar fuel production technology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics (HPC) is working on developing new materials for green energy conversion and thermal energy storage. Our group is working on a range of ceramic materials for different energy solutions, including ceramics for batteries, membranes and fuel production. We are experienced in processing high-temperature ceramics which we can characterize at high temperatures for thermo-mechanical and corrosion properties.
