MSCA Doctoral Network "POLY4EV" invites applications for 15 PhD positions

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description POLY4EV is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network bringing together leading European universities, research institutions and industrial partners to develop innovative polymer materials that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of electric vehicles. The network aims to address key challenges associated with the performance, sustainability and energy efficiency of electric vehicles by developing innovative and sustainable polymeric additives for EV lubricants and thermal management systems and polymeric binders for batteries. POLY4EV will train 15 Doctoral Candidates through an interdisciplinary and intersectoral programme combining polymer chemistry, materials science, physics, engineering and computational modelling, bridging fundamental research and industrial applications. To this end, POLY4EV brings together an interdisciplinary team of academic and industrial supervisors with expertise in polymer chemistry and physics, materials engineering, rheology, tribology and modelling. Therefore, each Doctoral Candidate will benefit from complementary expertise across the network, through dedicated supervision and secondments at academic and industrial institutions, ensuring interdisciplinary training and exposure to different research environments. The 15 PhD projects and the corresponding host institutions are: . • DC1 – Unravelling the effect of polymer topology on friction pro
