Research Studentships for Master or Integrated Master students - (BL119/2026_IST-ID)

Descrizione

Research Studentships for Master or Integrated Master students - (BL119/2026_IST-ID) Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'Associação do Instituto Superior Técnico para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento (IST-ID) offre due borse di ricerca per studenti di Master o Master Integrato nell'ambito del progetto SYAMESE, che si concentra sulla conversione sostenibile del CO2. La sede del progetto è a Lisbona, Portogallo. I principali compiti includono la simulazione del funzionamento di reattori al plasma e l'interazione con membrane di separazione, utilizzando modelli fluidi. È richiesta una laurea in ingegneria fisica o un campo correlato. I candidati devono presentare un modulo di domanda, un curriculum vitae, un certificato di laurea e una lettera di motivazione. La durata della borsa è di 3 mesi, con inizio previsto ad agosto 2026. Applications are open for two Research Studentships for Master or Integrated Master Students, within the framework of the SYAMESE project - Synergy between plasmas and separation membranes for sustainable CO2 conversion of Associação do Instituto Superior Técnico para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento (IST-ID) , 2023.15276.PEX, financed by national funds through FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC Workplan: The SYAMESE project consists of an in-depth numerical and experimental investigation of the dissociation of CO2 in plasma and the separation of its products, key processes for the storage of clean energy in synthetic fuels. The project aims to reveal the mechanisms underlying the interaction between the plasma and the separation membrane and to identify the optimum conditions for operating plasma-membrane reactors. The grants will allow each student to simulate the operation of different plasma reactors and their interaction with different surfaces and electrolytes through fluid modeling, acquiring valuable skills for the study of physics and engineering. Through numerical modeling, the fellows will also investigate the potential of coupling separation membranes to plasma to obtain the separate production of carbon monoxide and oxygen. The fellows will be able to validate numerical simulation results against experimental measurements and use them to complement our understanding. The research will address the fundamental mechanisms of the interaction between plasmas and this type of ion-conducting surface, an aspect yet to be explored in the scientific community, with a high potential impact in the field of plasma physics, catalysis and electrolysis. By carrying out cutting-edge research, the students will not only acquire crucial skills for their future, but also scientifically interesting results, the presentation and discussion of which will enable them to complete high-quality master's theses. Duration: The research fellowship will have the duration of 3 months and is expected to begin in August 2026. The grant contract can be renovated. When the academic degree or diploma is awarded during the term of the scholarship contract, the scholarship can be completed under the contractual terms established. It is mandatory to formalize applications with the submission of the following documents: i) B1 Form – Fellowship application ( https://ist-id.pt/recursos-humanos/bolseiros/#documentos-relacionados ); ii) Curriculum Vitae ; iii) academic degree certificate, where applicable; iv) proof of enrollment at an academic degree course (Master, Integrated Master); v) motivation letter.
