Internship position in Mechanics

• Location

Uppsala University, Department of Materials Science and Engineering

• Missions

The advertised position is tied to the project “Diffusion and damage during delignification of wood biomass(D4mass)” financed by Formas, which deals with the chemical delignification process, with a focus on advanced structural characterization and mass transport analysis. We aim to develop a predictive model that couples damage and diffusion phenomena and is based on realistic wood chip microstructure constructed with X-ray tomography (XRT) technique. The model can be applied to predict and optimize the processing parameters of chemical delignification for a wide range of applications, such as kraft cooking and producing delignified transparent wood.

• Skills

This position requires to be study Mechanics, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or any related field. And it requires to have knowledge and experience in programming (Python).
We require very good oral and written skills in English.

• Application

Your application must include:
• A letter describing yourself, your goals and why you are a suitable candidate for this position.
• CV (max 1 page).
The application must be written in English. During the application, we will continuously read applications and call for interviews.
