PhD position summary/title: PhD position on the “combinatorial development of multi-functional ceramic thin films”
The development of many next-generation technologies requires thin films and coatings, which exhibit more than one functionality. In this research project, we are targeting the development of novel ceramic thin film materials that are capable of this feat. Such materials may combine favorable mechanical properties, such as high hardness or scratch-resistance, with other functionalities. These can range from high transparency and electrical conductivity to their chemical stability or even their piezoelectric response. Applications of such coatings range from simple optical components such as lenses to more complex devices such as MEMS or displays. The materials of interest for this study mainly include ternary and quaternary nitrides and oxynitrides. Simultaneously optimizing multiple functional properties in these materials is a complex challenge with many variables. To accelerate this process you will employ high-throughput combinatorial materials science techniques.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position on urban climate and CO2 modelling
Deadline : Open until filled
(07) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: a PhD student modeling flows of plastics and associated chemicals (Project CIRPLUS)
CIRPLUS belongs to the Strategic Japanese-Swiss Science and Technology Programme, with the aim to develop an integrated framework, including methods, tools and data, for capturing the flows of chemical additives contained in plastics to inform the design of future circular plastic flows. The overall goal of the work performed at Empa is to develop novel integrated material flow analysis models of plastic flows and chemicals therein. The project implementation will be achieved in close collaboration with the project partner, the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) in Japan.
Deadline : Open until filled
(08) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD position on the development of new biomass-based thermal insulation materials
We are looking for a PhD student to study, develop and upscale new biomass-based thermal insulation materials with a very low CO2-footprint and a competitive thermal insulation performance. For this, the PhD student shall study and characterise suitable raw materials, their processing as well as the produced insulation materials. Furthermore, the PhD student will take into account application aspects, i.e. the use in buildings in different systems, and some economic factors. Towards the end of the project, the devel-oped solution shall be up-scaled and installed in a demonstrator, e.g. NEST at Empa. The results of the project, ideally, shall serve as the foundation for a subsequent industrialisation of the developed material in order to have a tangible impact on the Swiss built environment. At the same time, the scientific knowledge gains shall be published in peer-reviewed journals as part of the PhD to create visibility for low-impact building materials.

(10) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD position in the field of metamaterials for vibration and sound reduction
This PhD is part of the Horizon Europe MSCA doctoral network METAVISION (METAmaterials for VIbration and Sound reductION – Grant number 101072415). METAVISION is an international consortium of high-profile universities, research institutions and companies located in 7 European countries. METAVISION will train 11 doctoral candidates through intersectoral, multidisciplinary and international joint research and aims to reconcile two conflicting trends. On the one hand, people become increasingly aware of the negative health impact of excessive noise and vibration exposure. On the other hand, every kilogram of mass removed from the logistics chain has a direct economic and ecological benefit. Current noise and vibration solutions at low frequencies require too much mass or volume to be practically feasible. There is a strong need for low mass, compact solutions with excellent noise and vibration characteristics, for which recently emerged so-called metamaterials have shown immense potential. METAVISION aims to develop novel design and analysis methods, revolutionize the manufacturing of metamaterials towards large-scale and versatile solutions, and advance academically proven metamaterial concepts towards industrially relevant applications.
