Contratos predoctorales en la Universitat Rovira i Virgili

The DEW Laboratory Research Group at URV is offering to carry out a PhD thesisin the field of electrospray technology Ph.D. Research Fellowships.

The fellowship's recipients will participate in the project Production of homogeneous particles by controlled neutralization of electrosprays.

Experimental and computational methodologies will be used to design and test strategies forneutralizing electrosprays, and for controlling the transport of the droplets away from the spray.The objective is to significantly charge-reduce,or even neutralize, a large fraction of the droplets, in order to avoid their Coulombic instability and to extract them from the spray region as droplets or particles.

Applications Requirements
•Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering or similar.
•Experience in scientific laboratory and/or with a scientific programming language.
•Good written and oral English skills.

We are seeking candidates for two doctoral student positions: one is a URV scholarship (Martí Franquès Research Fellowship Programme 2016 http://www.urv.cat/recerca_innovacio/programes/urv/programa_marti_franques/PIPF/index.html) and the other is a Spanish Government scholarship.

The calls for these will be open soon. You can also contact us directly at http://www.etseq.urv.es/dew
