Industrial PhD Scholarship on Battery Modelling under abusive and unsafe conditions

For more than 50 years, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has stood for freedom, equality and solidarity, and this is very much alive on our campuses among students and staff alike. 

At the VUB, you will find a diverse collection of personalities: innovators pur sang, but above all people who are 100% their authentic selves. With some 4,000 employees, we are the largest Dutch-speaking employer, in the private sector, in Brussels; an international city with which we are only too happy to connect and where (around) our 4 campuses are located. 

Add to this our principle of free research - in which self-reflection, a critical attitude and an open, creative mind around scientific and social issues are central - and you have a university that is fundamentally groundbreaking and pioneering in education and research. In short: the VUB all over again. 

Moreover, the VUB is a member of EUTOPIA, an alliance of like-minded European universities, all ready to reinvent themselves.

Ineris was created in 1990 as a result of the merger between the French Centre for Studies and Research into Collieries (Cerchar) and the Institute of Applied Chemical Research (Ircha). The Institute’s mission is to contribute to the prevention of risks caused by economic activities to health, environment, and the safety of people and goods. The PhD will be performed in the Chemical and Electrochemical Reaction Unit of the Fire Explosion and dispersion Department. The candidate will integrate a dynamic team of 10 people working specifically on battery safety, relying on outstanding dedicated testing facilities (e.g. the STEEVE platform for abuse testing of cells and batteries).
