PhD and Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Fluid Mechanics, Soft Robotics, Sensors, and Flow Control University of Oslo in Norway

PhD opportunity at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, within the Dynamics of Micro and Nanosystems (DMN) section of the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME). The project focuses on developing innovative ultrasound-based sensing technology to measure the viscosity of flowing fluids in real time . The goal is to create modular and scalable flowmeters that can measure both flow rate and viscosity using surface acoustic wave (SAW...

The Thermal Two-Phase Flow Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting a PhD candidate for a three-year project on interface-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for boiling and condensation on engineered surfaces. The project is part of the Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network SurPhase EU Project. The research will develop advanced numerical models for interfacial transport and phase-change phenomena, combining interface-resolved CFD modelling wi...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting two PhD candidates in the BATT-MECH project, a collaboration between the Department of Structural Engineering and the Department of Energy and Process Engineering. The project is connected to SIMLab (Structural Impact Laboratory) and the Battery Mechanics and Sensing Lab, and is carried out in collaboration with Audi AG. The research addresses the safety, reliability and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle...

This PhD project at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) focuses on drainage-enhanced flow condensation in micro-structured surfaces . The work is part of the SurPhase MSCA Doctoral Network and is centered on understanding how low-global-warming-potential refrigerants behave during condensation on ribbed and finned microstructured surfaces. The successful candidate will investigate the key transport and phase-change process...

PhD opportunity at the University of Bristol in bio-inspired robotic systems for investigating biological signalling and adaptive behaviour . This project develops bioinspired soft robotic systems as embodied platforms for studying how living systems coordinate responses through physical interaction, sensing, control, and information transfer. The research sits at the intersection of robotics , mechanical engineering , biophysics , cybernetics , materials science , and computational modelling . ...
