About this position
This PhD position at the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra focuses on the effect of additives on the rheological properties of oil used in production machinery. The research aims to systematically evaluate how different additives influence the physical and rheological characteristics of both new and used oils sourced directly from industrial equipment. The doctoral candidate will conduct experimental work, adding selected additives to oil samples and measuring changes in density, dynamic viscosity, and kinematic viscosity. The study will involve comparative analysis of various additive brands to determine their effectiveness in improving oil properties.
The project is supervised by doc. Mgr. Peter Hlaváč, PhD., and is based at the Faculty of Engineering in Nitra, Slovakia. The research is highly relevant for students interested in mechanical engineering, materials science, and industrial lubrication. The outcome will contribute to optimizing lubricant performance in industrial settings and identifying the most effective additives for enhancing oil properties.
Applicants should have a Master's degree or equivalent in Engineering or a related discipline and demonstrate good proficiency in both English and Slovak. The position does not specify funding or scholarship details. The application deadline is 31 May 2026, with the position starting on 1 September 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the Faculty of Engineering's doctoral studies page.
