The project offers opportunities to combine CFD and numerical solver development with physics-based AI, suppo...

ETH Zurich’s Laboratory for High Power Electronic Systems (HPE) is seeking a doctoral candidate for research on advanced magnetic concepts for future high-power grid interfaces. The project addresses the magnetic devices—such as inductors, transformers and filters—that are essential for filtering and protection in high-power electrical systems and that strongly influence power density and efficiency. The research will focus on bidirectional grid interfaces and active rectifiers connecting the AC...

[3.5-year PhD studentship with a tax-free annual stipend at the UKRI rate of £21,805 for 2026/27 (subject to annual uplift) and tuition fees fully covered.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester explores advanced modelling and simulation for particle-based long-duration energy storage systems. The project combines computational fluid dynamics , high-fidelity multi-physics modelling, and physics-informed artificial intelligence to understand how high-temperature particle thermal st...

This PhD opportunity is based at the Department of Technology Systems at the University of Oslo and is part of a collaborative project on energy transitions under changing climate conditions. The project brings together the UiO Energy-Climate and Energy Systems Modeling groups with the Climate Physics Group at ETH Zurich , creating a research setting that combines energy-system analysis with climate science. The two available PhD projects focus on complementary questions: one addresses iterative...

AEGIS MSCA Doctoral Network is recruiting doctoral researchers for a set of PhD projects on sustainable computing and energy systems across universities and companies in Europe.
