PhD in Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Mechanisms of Wood at Chalmers University of Technology Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Chalmers University of Technology is launching a new PhD project on the hygro-thermo-mechanical mechanisms of wood. This is a multidisciplinary research opportunity for a doctoral student interested in materials science, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering, with a focus on timber engineering, hybrid structures, and non-destructive testing (NDT).

The project combines advanced experimental tools with computer simulations to study how wood behaves under coupled moisture, temperature, and mechanical loading conditions. The post is announced by Mahbube Subhani, who is associated with Chalmers University of Technology and University of Technology, Sydney, and whose research profile includes timber engineering, hybrid structures, and NDT.

This is explicitly a PhD opening. The post does not mention scholarship status, stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other funding details, and it does not list specific eligibility criteria such as prior degree, GPA, or language test requirements. Interested applicants should review the vacancy information and submit an application through the provided link.

Application deadline: 31 May 2026.
