Jobbeschreibung
This project comprises several workpackages (WP), each with a primary focus either on laboratory studies or theoretical modelling:
Experimental studies:
- WP 1 (Empa): Nucleation and precipitation kinetics of Fe(II)/Fe(III) minerals
- WP 2 (PSI): Investigations of Fe(II) -> Fe(III) oxidation kinetics in aqueous alkaline media
- WP 3 (Empa): Solubility and thermodynamics of Fe(II)/Fe(III) containing minerals
- WP 4 (PSI): Synchrotron-based characterisation of iron distribution in cement phases
- WP 5 (PSI): Reactive transport studies of diffusive Fe transport in cement
Theoretical modelling:
- WP 6 (UBern): Numerical simulation of Fe transport processes using physical models assisted by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
- WP 7(UBern): Atomistic simulations of Fe(II) / Fe(III) uptake by cement phases
For experimental workpackages (WPs 1-5):
- We are looking for motivated students with solid knowledge of inorganic chemistry and advanced analytical characterisation techniques
For modelling workpackages (WPs 6-7):
- We are looking for motivated students with physical, mathematical or programming skills for numerical simulation of reactive transport processes, atomistic simulations, or machine learning
Knowledge of cement chemistry, electrochemistry and thermodynamics is an asset. The project is highly interdisciplinary, and we welcome applicants with appropriate skill sets coming from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. The main working language of the project is English, and so we are seeking applicants with good proficiency in both written and spoken English.
Please submit your application online by 31 January 2024 (including the CV and the study transcripts) for the position as a PhD Student (index no. 4400-00):
Please clearly indicate WP you are applying for (WPs 1-7).
