PhD scholarship in New Coating Systems for Durable and Highly Resistant Coatings

jobbeskrivelse:
The PhD project will be conducted in collaboration between the CoaST and DPC research centres at DTU Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

The research field of this PhD position covers modification of polymers as well as formulation of coating systems. The main emphasis of the project will be on development and testing of novel coating systems targeting highly durable and resistant coatings.

Responsibilities and tasks
The overarching objective for this PhD project will be to develop new coating systems by modification of commercially available raw materials. We intend this project to both work on modification of polymers for new binder systems as well as on formulation, test and characterization of formulated coating systems.

• You should be interested in working at an interphase, where you will get the opportunity to combine the fields of polymer chemistry, formulation science as well as characterization and testing of coatings.
• You will be responsible for both synthetic development of the binder systems as well as formulation and testing of these in final coating systems.
• We expect you to be curious and motivated towards developing a new field with limited prior knowledge in close interaction with industry and researchers from academia.
• A good candidate should have a thorough knowledge of polymers, and preferably some experience in working with formulation chemistry.
• As part of the position, you will also be expected to work as a teaching assistant in theoretical and practical courses at the department.

You should be interested in and open to interaction with students at all levels during your PhD, since supervision of student projects will be expected as part of the project.

Qualifications
Candidates should have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU.
