Do you want to work on the energy transition? To develop and access new energy technologies? Do you have affinity/experience with computational studies and do you want to further develop your skills? Then consider joining the HEAT4ENERGY MSCA project at Radboud University as a PhD candidate! In this consortium we aim to boost thermomagnetic energy conversion to harvest low-grade waste heat in a concerted, collaborative international effort going from the fundamental electronic structure level (you!) to industrial praxis.

HEAT4ENERGY is a 4-years EU-Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network project. The main goal of HEAT4ENERGY is to train a new generation of enablers for the European Energy Transition with the skills needed to assess the potential of new energy technologies. They will acquire these in practice by addressing the challenge of making the first realistic and energy efficient thermomagnetic energy converters for low grade waste heat (<100°C) to electricity and they will learn how to upscale these and bring them to a viable market level. The project offers training for science and technology for energy transition and climate action, as well as transferable and complementary skills and Open Science related training. Through secondments the HEAT4ENERGY PhD students will engage in all fields of materials development for energy, ranging from physics to industrial praxis.
