The Department of Energy and Process Engineering has a vacancy for a 3-year PhD position as part of the HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network LeidenForce “Advanced Leidenfrost Effect”. The start date is no later than August/September 2025.
The location for this PhD position is Trondheim, at the Thermal Two-Phase Flow Laboratory (http://folk.ntnu.no/fernandi/). The position includes a 3-months secondment at AIRBUS. The project is in close relation with another PhD student in Université de Lille, France. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to learn form a consortium of 8 institutions (10 Beneficiaries, 3 Partner organizations). In addition to the individual scientific projects, all the 10 PhD candidates part of this Doctoral Network will benefit from further continuing education, which includes secondment, a variety of training courses for specific and transferable skills and active participation and international conferences.
As a PhD Candidate with us, you will work to achieve your doctorate, and at the same time gain valuable experience that qualifies you for a further career in higher education and research, in and outside academia.
Your immediate leader will be the Head of Department.
When a liquid droplet is placed on a solid surface with a temperature significantly higher than the boiling point of the liquid, the droplet hovers above the surface on a thin layer of its own vapor, a phenomenon known as the Leidenfrost effect. While this effect is highly undesirable in certain cooling applications due to the reduced energy transfer between the solid and evaporating liquid caused by the poor heat conductivity of the vapor, it can be of significant interest in various processes where avoiding contact with the surface is advantageous.
The LeidenForce project aims to comprehensively study the Leidenfrost effect and propose novel applications, either to mitigate its adverse effects or leverage its advantages. For this particular PhD position at NTNU, the project intends to (i) shift the fundamental understanding of the transition to the Leidenfrost state, and (ii) optimize the heat transfer between the droplet and the substrate.
The practical implications will be leveraged by non-academic institutions involved in aviation (such as AIRBUS), metallurgy (CRM), cryogenics, and space exploration (Centre Spatial de Liège). In aviation, managing cryogenic fuel is a crucial step toward achieving zero-emission flights. In metallurgy, innovative cooling methods will be developed based on mitigating the Leidenfrost effect.
This position at NTNU will focus on the impact of a liquid droplet on a structured substrate, hot enough to trigger the Leidenfrost transition. The goal of the project is to investigate the shift in Leidenfrost temperature for different surface configurations. We want to investigate and characterize the different outcomes from the droplet impact and the heat transfer in the different surfaces, bringing new insight into the physical mechanisms controlling the phenomena. The PhD candidate will participate in the planning and running of experiments and be in charge of analyzing data from experiments, as well as performing modeling work of the phenomenon. The candidate will collaborate closely with another PhD candidate at Université de Lille.
Be prepared for changes to your work duties after employment.
To apply for these MSCA Training positions, applicants must fulfil the following criteria:
General criteria:
Specific requirements for the proposed project:
--------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: For detailed information about what the application must contain, see paragraph “About the application”.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with Regulations for the Universities and Colleges Act (university and colleges regulations) and Regulations for the degrees philosophiae doctor (ph.d.) and philosophiae doctor (ph.d.) in artistic development work at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) for general criteria for the position.
To complete a doctoral degree (PhD), it is important that you are:
Emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
You will be employed as a PhD Candidate at NTNU and will have access to employee benefits and discounts.
Diversity is a strength, and at NTNU we aim to be an employer that reflects the diversity in society and that makes use of the potential of the population's collective skills. Our vision is Knowledge for a better world and our values are creative, critical, constructive and respectful. We believe that an organization that is equal, diverse and gender-balanced is essential for us to achieve our goals.
We strive to attract employees with different skills, life experiences and perspectives to contribute to even better problem solving of our societal mission in research and education.
If you think this position is relevant and interesting, we encourage you to apply, regardless of gender, functional ability and cultural background, or whether you have been out of work for a period of time.
At NTNU we want to increase the proportion of women in scientific positions. We have a number of measures to promote equality.
The Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) has established EPT Women in Science. The group is focused on supporting female Research Assistants, PhD Candidates, Postdoctoral Fellows and permanent academic employees within the Department. This support aims to help develop the academic careers of female employees, and is also made visible to our student body, to encourage them to consider an academic path. As part of the EPT Women in Science initiative we continue to build on our international network, inviting prominent female academics within and beyond the field of Engineering to speak at our events.
In the position of PhD Candidate, code 1017, your gross salary will normally be NOK 536 200,- per annum depending on qualifications and seniority. A 2% statutory contribution to the State Pension Fund is deducted from the salary.
The employment period is 3 years. If learning Norwegian (level A2 corresponding to at least 15 credits) is to be completed before the end of the employment period, the employment period can be extended by 10 weeks after completed and documented the Norwegian course.
For employment as a PhD Candidate, it is a prerequisite that you gain admission to the PhD programme in Engineering ((https://www.ntnu.edu/iv/doctoral-programme) within three months of your employment contract start date, and that you participate in an organized doctoral programme throughout the period of employment.
The position is conditional on external funding.
As an employee at NTNU, it is important that you keep yourself up to date with academic and organizational changes and adapt to them.
For the necessary academic and social interaction, it is a prerequisite that you are physically present and available to the institution on a daily basis.
The appointment is carried out in accordance with the principles of the State Employees Act, and Export control (legislation that regulates the export of knowledge, technology and services). Candidates who, after assessment of the application and attachments, are considered to be in conflict with the criteria in the latter act, will not be able to be employed.
