Are you passionate about creating functional nanomaterials for real-world applications? The Eindhoven University of Technology invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in Nanomaterial Gas-Phase Synthesis. This research opportunity is situated at the intersection of advanced materials science and global collaboration, focusing on the gas-phase (primarily flame-based) synthesis of functional nanopowders for emerging technologies, including energy applications. As the first PhD student in a new research line dedicated to flame-made nanomaterials, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of this work. You will join the collaborative and supportive Power & Flow group at TU/e, which is home to several PhD researchers working on related topics in reactive fluids and energy. The position offers a vibrant, multicultural research environment where knowledge sharing and mentorship are central, and you will benefit from collaboration across the group and faculty, under the supervision of Prof. Claudia-F. López-Cámara . Your primary responsibilities will include hands-on experimental research in a state-of-the-art laboratory, synthesizing, characterizing, and tuning the properties of nanopowders using a flame reactor. You will receive comprehensive training in laboratory techniques, safety, and specialized equipment. International collaborations are anticipated, allowing you to test the nanomaterials you produce for various applications, and you will be encouraged to present your findings at conferences. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU/e is renowned for its world-class research, closely aligned with the high-tech industry in the Netherlands, particularly in the Brainport region. The department aims to produce scientifically educated, application-driven engineers through a balanced program of fundamental and applied research. As a PhD candidate, you will also contribute to teaching (10–15% of your time) and benefit from high-quality training programs, technical infrastructure, and a supportive academic community. Eligibility: Applicants must have a master’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Applied Physics, Nanoengineering, or Nanotechnology. A research-oriented attitude, motivation, curiosity, and eagerness to develop expertise are essential. Candidates should be able to work in interdisciplinary teams, be interested in academic and industrial collaboration, and be motivated to develop teaching skills. Fluency in English (C1 level) and basic knowledge of nanomaterial characterization techniques (TEM, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR) are required, as is previous experimental research experience. The preferred start date is April 2026; if unavailable, please specify your earliest possible start date in your cover letter. Funding and Benefits: The position offers full-time employment for four years, with a competitive salary (scale P: €3,059–€3,881/month), year-end bonus (8.3%), annual vacation pay (8%), pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave, commuting and internet allowances, and a tax compensation scheme (30% facility) for international candidates. Additional benefits include access to on-campus childcare, sports facilities, and a Staff Immigration Team. Application Process: Apply online via the official application link. Submit a cover letter detailing your motivation and qualifications, a CV with a list of publications, and contact information for three references. Applications by email or post will not be processed. The vacancy remains open until filled, with a final deadline of December 31, 2025. For further information, contact Prof. Claudia-F. López-Cámara at c.f.lopez.camara@tue.nl . Join TU/e and contribute to shaping the future of functional nanomaterials in a dynamic, international research environment!
