Interested in a PhD project at the very forefront of fluid mechanics, soft matter and engineering? Look no further!
We are currently seeking a PhD student in fluid mechanics to join our team.
The project, funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR), aims to uncover the fundamental mechanisms that govern biofilm morphology and growth under flow conditions. At present, the lack of such understanding limits our ability to predict how rapidly biofilms develop in dynamic environments, which poses major challenges across industry, where timely biofilm removal is critical.
In this project, the PhD student will work with a unique experimental platform and combine it with continuum modeling of complex materials and machine-learning-based analysis methods to understand and predict biofilm structure and growth.
The application deadline for this position is 31 January, and interested candidates can apply here.
By joining our group, you will do fundamental but relevant science that will play a role in addressing societal challenges, have access to world-leading facilities and work in a dynamic team.
We look forward to hearing from you!
