PhD opening in material science of stone conservation

The Chair for Physical Chemistry of Building Materials has one opening for PhD. position on the topic of stone conservation, in particular the mechanisms of contour scaling. This PhD is part of the collaborative project “Spatially graded 3D printing to elucidate contour scaling of building stones”. It aims at elucidating the mechanism of contour scaling on building stone, establishing on-site monitoring methods and testing possible treatments for it. The selected student will collaborate with another PhD candidate funded in the scheme and employed at the Chair for Digital Building Technologies in the Department of Architecture.
