About this position
Tsinghua University’s Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School is offering fully funded master’s and PhD research positions in polymer tribology.
The research focuses on sustainable self-lubricating polymer composites and the development of ultralow-wear materials for demanding environments where liquid lubrication is impractical. Students may work on tribological material design, friction and wear evaluation, tribometry, and in-situ characterisation of material behavior under relevant operating conditions.
The project sits at the intersection of Materials Science, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The research environment is associated with Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School and is supervised by Dr Yap Kian Kun.
The opening is intended for international applicants seeking graduate research training beginning in September 2027.
Funding details
