PhD Position in Applied Superconductivity and Electromagnetic Modeling at the University of Bologna University of Bologna in Italy

Open PhD position in Applied Superconductivity at the University of Bologna (UniBo), promoted by ASG Superconductors S.p.A. The project is centered on the experimental characterization of AC losses in superconducting wires and tapes, combining laboratory work with the development and optimization of multiphysics simulation codes to model, interpret, and validate experimental data.

This opportunity is a strong fit for candidates interested in electromagnetics, cryogenics, electromagnetic modeling, finite element methods, and the physics of superconducting materials. The work is multidisciplinary and involves collaboration with industry partners and research centers, with opportunities for national and international cooperation.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field. Prior experience with numerical simulation tools such as FEM or multiphysics software is appreciated, but motivation and willingness to learn are also emphasized.

Timeline: application deadline is mid-June 2026, and the expected start date is October–November 2026. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a 1-hour interview consisting of a short presentation followed by a technical discussion.

How to apply: contact Riccardo Tebano directly via DM for further details or to submit your application.
