Empa is an interdisciplinary research and services institution for material sciences and technology development within the ETH Domain. Its Laboratory for Mechanical Systems Engineering is looking for strengthening its composite materials development activities and offers a

Postdoc position in Carbon Nanotube based Composites

The work will focus on the development of nano-particle modified fibre reinforced polymer composites by modification of the system with nano-particles, specifically carbon nano-tubes (CNT). The purpose of the project led by the candidate is to improve resin dominated properties of fibre composite materials, like ILSS, toughness and impact resistance. The work will cover aspects such as functionalisation of the fillers, processing issues and characterisation from the nano- to the macroscopic scale.

The ideal candidate (m/f) is a communicative chemist, chemical engineer, material scientist or physicist with a PhD degree. The candidate should bring practical experience in the field of nanocomposites, including the specific characterisation methods, preferably on CNT-epoxy systems. Furthermore, the candidate should already have lead a scientific project.

PhD Studentship in Marine Palaeoclimatology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

The Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is a leading national institute carrying out research and education in the environmental sciences. ICTA promotes basic and applied multidisciplinary research into environmental processes and the relations between the changing environment and society. ICTA currently has 41 academic staff and over 80 early stage researchers (PhD students, post‐doctoral research associates).

ICTA invites applications for 1 fellowship in marine palaeoclimatology of 3 years for an early stage researcher (ESR) at the PhD student level The fellowship is sponsored by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Community as part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network `GATEWAYS`.
