International LIMTECH Young Scientist Award

—————————–
(from Gunter Gerbeth, Germany)

 

The LIMTECH Alliance, a German research initiative devoted to the research on liquid metal technologies (https://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=2920) that is funded by the Helmholtz association of German research centres, announces the international LIMTECH Young Scientist Award to support the research in the field of liquid metal technologies and to intensify international cooperation. Detailed subjects are, for instance, generic flow phenomena and flow control, magnetohydrodynamic flows, measurement techniques, applications in metal casting, crystal growth or energy conversion and storage, related model experiments and numerical simulations, etc.

The award will be granted annually and recognises outstanding scientific contributions made by young scientists. Candidates must be less than 40 years old. Eligible for application are PhDs or post-docs (typically 3-4 years after completion of the thesis). Applicants must not be members of the LIMTECH alliance.

The award consists of a certificate and is endowed with a lump sum of 2000 €.

The award also includes an invitation to join the LIMTECH research alliance at one of its participating institutions in the following year for up to 6 months to perform related research. The stay will be funded by the LIMTECH alliance. The details are quite flexible and can be arranged according to the preferences of both sides.

Next award: 2016
