PREDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN THE POLYMERS & SOFT MATTER GROUP IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MICHELIN COMPANY: ‘IMPACT OF ADDITIVES ON THE KEY INGREDIENTS GOVERNING THE BEHAVIOR OF MIXTURES WITH DYNAMIC ASYMMETRY

The positions will be funded by the Michelin company. The selected candidate will be hired
by the Research Association MPC - Materials Physics Center. The salary will be of
17.398,20 euros during the first year before taxes.

The Polymers & Soft Matter Group addresses the structure and dynamics of polymers,
glass-forming systems and soft materials at different length and time scales with a
multidisciplinary approach (http://www.sc.ehu.es/sqwpolim/PSMG/).

In the project here proposed, the structural, thermodynamic and dynamical properties of
simplified mixtures of industrial interest will be investigated, by combining different
techniques including calorimetry and dielectric spectroscopy, and X-ray and potentially
neutron scattering.

Candidates must hold a Master degree, preferably in the field of Physics, Chemical
Engineering, or Chemistry. Expertise in dielectric and mechanical spectroscopy will be
highly appreciated for this particular position, as well as background in scattering
techniques.

Suitable candidates can apply for this position sending by email to jobs.cfm@ehu.eus the
following information before 30th of November with the subject label "Predoc CFM-
