Fully Funded PhD in Polymer Nanocomposites and Nanomaterials Engineering at University of British Columbia Okanagan University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada

Fully funded PhD positions are available in Polymer Nanocomposites and Nanomaterials Engineering at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada. The opportunity is hosted by the Nanomaterials and Nanopolymer Compounds (NPNL) Laboratory, which is developing multifunctional polymeric nanomaterials with self-sensing and self-healing properties.

The research sits at the intersection of Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physics, with emphasis on polymer engineering, nanomaterials, advanced materials chemistry, rheology, and smart multifunctional materials. Students will contribute to cutting-edge work on next-generation functional materials with potential industrial applications.

Preferred applicants should have a strong background in polymer science and engineering, experience with rheology, practical skills in nanomaterials preparation and characterization, and the ability to write and publish scientific papers. Good teamwork, communication skills, and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research are also highlighted.

The post states that two PhD positions are open. The study location is Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Interested candidates are asked to send a CV and a brief summary of academic qualifications, research experience, and research interests to the listed contacts.
