About this position
PhD opportunity in multiphysics modeling for clean energy at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain, under the supervision of Dr. Pablo A. García-Salaberri.
The project will investigate computational modeling of electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, including fuel cells, electrolyzers, and batteries. Research will combine coupled fluid flow, heat and mass transport, electrochemical reactions, multiphysics and multiscale numerical simulations, and computational optimization of energy systems.
The successful candidate will receive a full-time predoctoral contract for up to four years through the FPU 2026 Predoctoral Fellowship. Funding includes €32,500 per year in employment funding, plus up to €10,000 for research stays and doctoral tuition fees. The fellowship also offers opportunities for international collaboration, scientific publications, teaching experience, and potentially a postdoctoral orientation period subject to FPU conditions.
Applicants should be outstanding European graduates with an exceptional academic record. Suitable backgrounds include Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related disciplines. Strong interest or experience in numerical simulation, CFD, computational methods, and scientific programming is desirable, together with analytical ability, independence, and research motivation. Academic achievements account for 75% of the FPU evaluation.
To express interest, email a CV, full academic transcripts including grades, and a brief research-interest statement to Dr. Pablo A. García-Salaberri at [email protected]. The deadline is November 12, 2026, at 14:00 Spanish mainland time.
