Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Switzerland is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in redox flow batteries
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The research project focuses on the development of electrolytes and electrode materials for next-generation flow batteries. The energy density of such batteries is relatively low and directly linked to active material solubility. Concentrated electrolytes, however, invoke various challenges that prevent practical implementation. In this project we will explore mediated redox reactions to decouple energy density from solubility, by placing solid capacity boosters in the electrolyte tanks.

2. Fully Funded PhD in Cellulose Aerogels for Thermal Superinsulation
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Laboratory for Building Energy Materials and Components develops the next generation of porous materials for thermal insulation, carbon capture, sorption and other applications, often in close contact with industry. We aim to improve the sustainability of buildings and industrial processes with high-performance and/or low eco-impact materials.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
3. Fully Funded PhD in Atomic and Molecular Quantum Magnetism
Summary of Funded PhD Program
You will play a key role in conducting systematic research on the quantum coherent manipulation of spins on surfaces. Particular emphasis is placed on molecular spin systems, where you can harness quantum correlations of many-body spin systems, enabled by atomically precise bottom-up synthesis. In our newly established lab, you will use low-temperature, high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and tuning fork atomic force microscopy (QPlus AFM), combined with electron spin resonance techniques.

4. Fully Funded PhD in Computational Biology on the Discovery of Multimodal Biomarkers
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The project will focus on the characterization of molecular determinants that lead to stalled wound healing and chronic wound development. The student will guide analyses of datasets obtained through a comprehensive proteomic and metabolomic characterization of wound exudates. The PhD student will work closely both with clinical partners as well as with Empa groups responsible for the translation of research results. The PhD candidate will implement existing and develop novel approaches for biomarker identification from high throughput molecular measurements.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
5. Fully Funded PhD in thermal energy storage materials for solar fuel production technology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Laboratory for High Performance Ceramics (HPC) is working on developing new materials for green energy conversion and thermal energy storage. Our group is working on a range of ceramic materials for different energy solutions, including ceramics for batteries, membranes and fuel production. We are experienced in processing high-temperature ceramics which we can characterize at high temperatures for thermo-mechanical and corrosion properties.

6. Fully Funded PhD in multi-constituent nanopastes for sinter-bonding
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Laboratory of Joining Technologies and Corrosion at Empa in Dübendorf drives innovations in joining technologies and corrosion management to enable evolution towards increasingly efficient, reliable and sustainable material technologies. Joining is a key-enabling technology for advanced manufacturing. In order to address increasingly complex demands on joining (dissimilar materials combinations, miniaturisation, extreme operation conditions, thermal management issues, life-cycle considerations and sustainability,…), nano-micro-joining (NMJ) aims at utilising nanoscale, out-of-equilibrium effects for joining purposes, e.g. to achieve joints with higher operation temperature at lower joining temperature.
