Offer Description
Nanofluids are solid-liquid composites in which nanoparticles or nanofibers (1-100 nm) are suspended in a liquid. Nanofluids have the potential to improve thermophysical properties in thermal storage systems, such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusion or heat transfer coefficient, and modify viscosity.
The selected candidate is expected to perform the following tasks:
- Formulation of suspensions, synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials.
- Development of new advanced nanomaterials to increase the efficiency of different thermal energy processes.
- Development of highly flexible and efficient heat transfer devices.
- Adaptation of nanofluids/Nano-enhanced Phase Change Materials (NePCMs) to specific thermal processes in the industry.
- Acquisition of competitive funding, both private and public
- Close interdisciplinary collaboration with CIIAE colleagues. As well as collaboration with universities, research institutes and companies at a national and international level.
- Support, supervision and tutoring of doctoral students and master's students.
- Writing scientific publications and presentation of results at international conferences.
Academic background required: PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Chemical engineering, Mechanical engineering or similar
Valuable master's degree in:
- Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion
- Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
- Complex Materials: Thermal Analysis and Rheology
Gross Salary Range: 35 000 € - 38 000 €
Requirements
- Research Field
- Physics
- Education Level
- PhD or equivalent
Experience in any of the following areas will be valued:
- Experience in the investigation of physicochemical properties, including rheological and thermal properties of nanofluids / nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) /Deep eutectic solvents (DESs).
- Experience in nano-dispersions, nanofluids, gels and/or colloids
- Experience in thermal conductivity of this kind of materials
- Experience in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
- Experience in Rheology
- Experience in Zeta potential
- Experience in optical techniques such as DLS (dynamic light scattering) and electron microscopy.
Cross-cutting competences:
- Communication skills
- Ability work in a team
- Experience in collaborations inside and outside the own department
- Languages
- ENGLISH
- Level
- Good
