EMSI is currently reviewing applications at the PhD level for two positions.
1. a student studying fracture with a prospective thesis topic in the domain of Crack front stability in 3D.
What we seek:
A student with substantial laboratory experience, and familiarity with general laboratory instrumentation. Experience with microscopy or imaging is a plus, but not required. The qualified applicant will have some experience with continuum solid mechanics. We are seeking applicants with a master’s degree at the time of the desired start date, but will consider applicants with a bachelor’s degree.
What we offer:
A science-first lab for investigating interfacial mechanical phenomena using all available tools and methods. Our lab has a hallmark of novel experimental approaches, and has contributed to significant advances in material and interface characterization. You will be encouraged to achieve your potential as a scientist, and have access to all the required tools for this purpose. We have a vibrant, driven team, who maintain a high-standard of work-life balance. Student salaries and the Swiss environment make life outside the lab enjoyable.
Interested applicants are encouraged to send the following (pdf preferred) to Dr. John Kolinski, [email protected]: 1. A cover letter, summarizing your qualifications and interest in joining the lab. 2. A CV including a list of published scientific work, and a description of scientific goals.
We are committed to hiring diversely and inclusively.
2. a student studying contact formation with a prospective thesis topic in the domain of Driven wetting and contact through air.
What we seek:
A student with substantial laboratory experience, and familiarity with general laboratory instrumentation. Experience with microscopy or imaging is a plus, but not required. The qualified applicant will have some experience with continuum fluid and solid mechanics. We are seeking applicants with a master’s degree at the time of the desired start date, but will consider applicants with a bachelor’s degree.

Student internships:
If we have not met, I will not write letters of support for the ThinkSwiss program.
I will make only rare exceptions for hosting students outside of the E3 program, unless you are considering a career in research.
If you wish to come as an intern, apply to the E3 program, and list me as a potential host.
