PhD Fellowship on “Study of damping and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced polymers enhanced with Graphene Related materials (GRM)”
The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas, (FORTH/ICE-HT) is seeking applicants for one PhD candidate position in the context of the research project “Graphene Flagship Core Project 3 – SGA 881603: Work Package 14 - Composites”, which is implemented under the Horizon 2020 Research Framework Program.
Job Description
The chosen applicant will be required to conduct novel research as a graduate research fellow in the framework of the project “Graphene Flagship Core Project 3 – SGA 881603: Work Package 14 - Composites”. The aim of this research is the fabrication of GRMs and fibre reinforced composites and characterization of the damping response and mechanisms by means of microscopy, DMA and mechanical testing for aerospace and automotive applications.
Location: FORTH/ICE-HT, Patras, Greece
Duration: up to 12 months, with the potential of renewal
Fellowship: up to 420 € per month depending on qualifications and work hours in the project
Envisaged starting date: 01/06/2022
Requirements and Qualifications
