About this position
The University of Padua’s Department of Chemical Sciences, through the MOC Laboratories, is offering two doctoral positions in the POLY4EV Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, focused on molecularly designed polymers for electric vehicles.
The first PhD project, Architecturally Controlled Polymers for EV Lubricants, investigates polymer synthesis and molecular architecture, including branched and cyclic polymers. The research targets advanced lubrication materials, friction and wear reduction, and the relationships between polymer structure and material properties.
The second project, Thermoresponsive Polymers for Thermal Management, explores smart polymer materials for electric-vehicle thermal management. The work involves controlled polymerization, functional macromolecular design and advanced polymer characterization.
Doctoral researchers will work in a collaborative international environment involving academic and industrial partners. The network provides research training and scientific mobility while connecting polymer chemistry, materials science and electric-vehicle applications.

What's required
Applicants must hold or expect to obtain a Master’s degree. Preferred backgrounds include Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related disciplines. Applicants should have a strong interest in experimental chemistry, excellent English communication skills and motivation for laboratory-based research; previous experience in polymer synthesis or characterization is advantageous. Applicants must also satisfy the MSCA mobility requirement: they must not have lived or carried out their main professional or academic activity in Italy for more than 12 months during the 36 months preceding recruitment. Required documents are an academic CV, motivation letter identifying the preferred doctoral project, academic transcripts and recommendation letter(s).
How to apply
Review the official POLY4EV position descriptions and select the preferred doctoral project. Prepare the CV, motivation letter, transcripts and recommendation letters, then submit the application by email to [email protected] through the official application instructions. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and may close earlier.
