Call for 6 PhD positions within the RE-FRACTURE2 project

Call for 6 PhD positions within the RE-FRACTURE2 project

Modelling and optimal design of refractories for high temperature industrial applications for a low carbon society vacancies availables. 

1. Starting date: 1/11/2021

2. Where: Europe (Italy, Belgium, Serbia)

3. Description:
The objective of the project is to derive new computational models for refractory materials, which will make it possible for the first time to simulate in-silico their behaviour over the whole of working temperature range. These models will be a breakthrough in the design of components like refractory nozzles, plates, ladle and tundish slide gate systems, which will directly translate to energy savings, waste reduction and decreases in pollution and CO2 emission, together with safety improvements.

4. Salary:
Successful candidates will receive a salary/fellowship in accordance with the MSCA regulations for Early Stage Researchers. The exact salary/fellowship will be confirmed upon appointment.

Funding is guaranteed for 36 months. In addition to their individual scientific projects, the successful candidates will benefit from further continuing education, which includes internships and secondments, a variety of training modules, as well as courses on transferable skills and active participation in workshops and conferences.

4. Project Coordinator: Andrea Piccolroaz. Associate Professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics

5. Deadline for application: 30/06/2021 12:00:00 Brussels time
