5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Phase Change Heat and Mass Transfer (ETA-LAB)
Summary of PhD Program:
A PhD position is available in Prof. Zhengmao Lu’s Energy Transport Advances Laboratory (ETA-LAB) in the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL, Switzerland. At the ETA-LAB (etalab.epfl.ch), we strive to obtain a deeper understanding of liquid-gas interfacial heat and mass transfer and create high-performance, low-carbon-emission energy and water technologies.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Terrestrial Biosphere Modeling
Summary of PhD Program:
Sustainable food production requires finding the right balance between food and nutritional security while protecting the environment and addressing climate issues. Climate‐smart agriculture has been promoted as a systematic approach for developing agricultural strategies that ensure food security in the context of climate change. However, a detailed quantification of the effects of such practices across different environmental settings and under future climates is currently missing, making it difficult to assess their actual potential.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Earthquake Engineering / Structural Engineering (EESD)
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for PhD Candidates to work on topics related to testing and numerical modelling of stone masonry structures.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Pressure tuning and symmetry breaking in frustrated quantum magnets (LQM)
Summary of PhD Program:
When magnetic interactions in a material are competing, it is termed “frustrated” and many exotic quantum properties may occur. This PhD project is focused on investigating and tuning of phases of such frustrated quantum magnets by using extreme conditions of low temperatures and high pressures. The candidate will perform inelastic neutron scattering experiments on cold and thermal neutron spectrometers at the ILL as well as use supporting techniques such as synchrotron X-ray diffraction and specific heat measurements at the LQM.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
