Join us for a PhD
The ECoMMFiT group is looking for talented, enthusiastic and motivated applicants who wish to carry out research work towards a PhD degree in fluid mechanics. We invite you to send us your application if you are a qualified candidate with a solid interest in fundamental and/or applied fluid mechanics. Opportunities are available for both experimental and theoretical work in fluid mechanics.
The research interests of the group are varied. If you are interested in joining us for a PhD, we suggest that you take a look at our research areas, as well as the work carried out by our current and past researchers.
You will find more information on how to apply on the pages of the Doctoral Programmes of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili.
For a more informal contact, you can contact Lluís Vàzquez(ELIMINAR), sending him a recent CV and general information about the area in which you would like to do research.
