Overview
PhD candidate position in the Reducing the pollution of internal combustion engine fuelled with the second generations of biofuels
Open application for a doctoral candidate in the field of Transport engineering
The doctoral candidate position is available in the Transport Engineering faculty Automobile transport department. Applicants interested in other research topics related to alternative fuels, simulation and reduction of internal combustion engines pollutions, are also welcome to apply.
Research topic description
Alternative fuels are a serious challenge for vehicles in replacing petroleum-based fuels with alternatives. The stricter ecological and technological requirements for cars force us to look for new renewable energy sources while creating not only energy but also the economic and social value of using alternative fuels. Therefore, the promotion of second and third-generation biofuels is defined at both the national and EU regulatory level. The projected ecological benefits further justify their use, and the symbiotic relationship with energy-efficient resource conservation makes this a dominant theme in the field of transportation.
The selected candidate will work on the PhD thesis under the supervision of assoc. prof. dr. Jonas Matijošius. The successful applicant will have to attend scientific conferences, meetings and internships at other universities.
Requirements
• Required background: Engineering (Mechanical, transportation or energy)
• Expected skills and knowledge: technological (to be well known with an internal combustion engine background, fuels backgrounds, a user of basic IT applications)
It is a prerequisite you can be present at and accessible to the institution daily.
For more information
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview. The position may not be opened if no qualified candidate is found. Additional information regarding the post may be obtained from assoc. prof. dr. Jonas Matijošius, e-mail: jonas.matijosius@vilniustech.lt.
Programme structure
The PhD programme consists of:
· Independent research under supervision;
· Courses for PhD students (approximately 30 ECTS credits);
· Participation in research networks, including placements at other, primarily foreign, research institutions;
· Teaching or another form of knowledge dissemination, which is related to the PhD topic when possible;
· The completion of a PhD thesis.
