KU Leuven is offering two full-time, four-year PhD positions focused on investigating hydrogen embrittlement in duplex stainless steel alloys. These alloys are valued for their high strength and corrosion resistance, but exposure to hydrogen and low temperatures can reduce their ductility, posing challenges for their use in hydrogen infrastructure and energy applications. The research will combine advanced experimental techniques—such as small-scale mechanical testing and electron microscopy—wit...

The University of Tours, in collaboration with CNRS and INSA Centre Val de Loire, is offering a fully funded PhD position in the GREMAN laboratory, focusing on molecular dynamics simulations of the influence of ferroelectric topological structures on thermal conductivity. The research will explore how domain walls and their orientations in ferroelectric materials, particularly perovskites like BaTiO3, affect thermal transport properties. The project will use advanced simulation techniques to stu...
