[交流] 4-year PhD Position in Switzerland in materials science

CSC Scholarship PhD position (materials science) in Empa, St. Gallen, Switzerland
Microfluidic Production of Polymer Fibers

Compared to thermal processing (e.g. melt-spinning and dry spinning) or electrical processing (i.e. electrospinning), wet-spinning represents a more eco-friendly and biocompatible technique for produc-ing polymeric fibers from solutions under mild conditions. This prevents polymer degradation at high temperatures, meanwhile enables the loading of bioactive materials such as drugs and proteins in high-value polymer fibers for many biomedical applications. As an advanced wet spinning technology, mi-crofluidic wet spinning shears the common features of conventional wet spinning, however, successfully overcomes the challenges in controlling the spinning process, fiber dimensions and complex morphol-ogies.

The project will focus on current challenges in using microfluidic wet spinning for polymer fiber produc-tion, namely low production rate and poor fiber mechanical properties. The project goals are expected to be tackled with an interdisciplinary research approach that combines materials chemistry, microfluid-ic device design and development, polymer engineering and characterization.

The applicant must hold a master degree in materials science or chemistry with a solid background in polymers, ideally with previous experience in microfluidics. The project involves extensive scientific exchange and collaborations with partners from other labs in Empa and Switzerland. The position is available upon agreement at the earliest possible date with a planned duration of 4 years. Proficiency of English and experience in scientific writing is essential. The candidate will academically be enrolled at école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and co-supervised by a thesis advisor from EPFL.

Successful acquisition of a CSC Scholarship is necessary for this position.
