Materials Science/Engineering

A fully funded PhD position is available at Swansea University, UK, focusing on the synthesis and characterisation of polymeric composites for high actuation under electric and magnetic fields. The project aims to develop advanced materials, such as natural rubbers filled with conductive particles, and to perform microscopic and rheological characterisations. The research is supported by a global automotive company and will be conducted within a dynamic and vibrant team, including multiple supervisors with expertise in materials science and engineering. The scholarship covers 3.5 years of study and is open to candidates of any nationality. Applicants should be highly motivated and interested in materials science, polymer science, or mechanical engineering. The application deadline is December 28, 2024.
