PhD In Materials and Mechanics for Advanced Ceramic-based Protection Systems | Cera-Shield

Introduction

Are you inspired to push the limits of materials for safer and lighter protection systems? Join us to develop innovative ceramic-based systems that redefine lightweight protection performance.

Job Description

We are offering 3 PhD positions within the CeraShield project, an ambitious, interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, industry, and government partners. The project aims to develop the next generation of lightweight, high-performance ceramic-based protection systems, addressing urgent safety challenges.

Ceramic-based layered systems provide unmatched protection-to-weight ratios, but current solutions still suffer from limited performance. CeraShield tackles this challenge by combining new microstructured ceramics, advanced modeling, and innovative manufacturing routes into a fully integrated design strategy.

CeraShield will kick off with a team of 3 PhDs, supervised by PI...
