PhD studies in materials science

Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science Polish Academy of Sciences invites applications for admission to its Ph.D. Project sponsored by European Social Fund in the frame of Polish National Cohesion Strategy (Operational Program Human Capital). The Project is dedicated to the students interested in the area of materials science who already have or are completing a M.Sc. degree at a recognized university.

Students are expected to learn fundamentals of their chosen field and to develop a deep understanding of one their significant aspects. Students are required to take further subjects designated by their academic advisor. A full range of advanced-level subjects is offered in each field, and arrangements can be made for individually planned study of any topic. Oral examinations in the academic programs for the doctoral degree are designed accordingly. Participation in all Institute seminars is obligatory.

Presently, a large research program on the structure and properties, preparation, and processing of materials, with emphasis on ceramics, metals and biomaterials, is conducted in the Institute. Students choose research projects from several possibilities that exist within the Institute and work closely with its scientific supervisor. The results of the thesis must be of sufficient significance to warrant publication in the scientific periodicals.

The Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science has a number of well-equipped research laboratories. There is a close interaction between them including the sharing of experimental facilities and equipment. Most of experimental facilities are extensively used in the frame of Testing Laboratories authorized by Polish Centre for Testing and Certification in accordance with ISO standards. The certificate of conformance with Polish and European standards PN-ISO/IEC 17025:2001 for testing methods in the range of mechanical and structural properties of metals and alloys is valid till the next audit in 2012.
