13 PhD positions
The objectives framed in the NewFrac training network allow 13 PhD positions to be offered to excellent researchers for the development of their career through Marie Skłodowska-Curie grants, funded by the European Commission in its Horizon 2020 program.
The details of each of they are presented below, as well as the general and specific requirements for each of them.
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network "NEWFRAC" is a high-level training of a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers (ESRs) through the development and engineering applications of a new modeling framework focused on the prediction and analysis of multi-field fracture phenomena in heterogeneous engineering systems at different scales.
NEWFRAC in its mission of training students capable of solving the current problems of multi-field fracture phenomena in heterogeneous engineering systems, offers 13 PhD positions for early stage researchers (ESRs) distributed in a network of 5 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and 2 countries associated (Israel and Switzerland), with the participation of prestigious academic and industrial institutions that will allow researchers to grow and develop their technical skills in a multisectoral environment.
Besides working on their project at their home institutions, the researchers will participate in network-wide training events like summer schools. Moreover, they will conduct secondments at other network partners combinig academic and indstrial experiences.
