About this position
Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria is advertising a PhD position in numerical modelling of mass transfer in fluidised beds within the Department of Particulate Flow Modelling. The project is part of FlexCSAR, a European consortium focused on carbon capture using fluidised bed technology.
The research topic combines chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics, with emphasis on CFD, turbulence modelling, multiphase flows, and reactive gas-particle flow modelling. The selected researcher will work on deriving filtered transport equations for mass transfer, running highly resolved simulations, analysing data, and developing models for application to carbon capture processes.
This is a full-time, three-year PhD employment (40 hours/week). The minimum salary is €3,776.10 gross per month (14 times per year), under collective agreement grade B1. The post is based in Linz, Austria.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must have a completed Master-equivalent degree in Fluid Mechanics, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics. A strong background in turbulence modelling, CFD, multiphase flows, fluidised beds, or mathematics is preferred. English fluency at C1 level is required; German is not required.
Deadline: 30 September 2026, 23:59 (Europe/Vienna). Apply through the university job portal. For questions, contact Simon Schneiderbauer at [email protected].
