The research chair Energy, Materials and Systems in the faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Twente has 3 open positions for PhD students on Applied Superconductivity. All are four-year positions that concern the development of superconducting coils and magnet systems for specific applications: particle accelerators; magnetic density separation; and high-speed linear motors. All projects are strongly multidisciplinary and application-driven, covering aspects of material science, electromagnetism, mechanics and thermal engineering.
