We are seeking a doctoral researcher for a research project focusing on dephosphorization and other metal–slag and slag–refractory reactions under conditions that simulate the hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) process. The experimental work of the doctoral thesis will mainly be carried out on a laboratory scale and will combine experimental process metallurgy, materials characterization, and computational analysis of experimental results using statistical and phenomenological mathematical modeling techniques.
