8 PhD Positions, University of Stuttgart, Germany (2019)

Eight positions are open for doctoral researchers in the experimental and numerical investigation of droplet interaction phenomena with different media. The selected candidates will participate in the International Research Training Group (IRTG): DROPIT. DROPIT is led by the University of Stuttgart and envisage a partnership among the University of Stuttgart, Bergamo and Trento. The objective is to understand how micro-scale transport processes affect macroscopic flow properties. The research programme is organised in three thematic research areas (TAs): drop-gas interaction (TA-A), drop-wall interaction (TA-B) and drop-liquid interaction (TA-C). A key feature is the interdisciplinary approach, which envisages the synergic integration of experimental (X-ray micro-CT, micro-PIV), numerical (DNS, discontinuous Galerkin schemes, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo), and analytical methods (heat and mass transfer models for evaporation, interactions).

Desired skills and experience
The successful candidate has a M.Sc. degree in engineering, physics or mathematics. Additionally, candidates should have excellent writing skills. Fluency in English is required; command of German would be appreciated.
