Do you want to build a solid research career and broaden your horizons? Are you at the beginning of your career and have a research idea with potential for novelty? Do you want to explore and experiment with diverse cultural and professional experiences? Do you want to develop new skills (such as managerial or academic skills)?
The solution to these questions is the MSCA postdoctoral fellowship program.
Young researchers with up to 8 years of experience since obtaining their doctoral degree can receive funding for up to 2 years. The research project must be proposed and developed in a research institution located in a country different from their country of origin.
A new competition will open in the spring of next year, with a deadline in September. Candidates who wish to apply for MSCA postdoctoral fellowships are invited to contact me. They should be looking for a host institution and a supervisor. Please send a pre-application of interest.
The pre-application should contain an initial two-page outline of their proposed project and a CV.
The project outline should include a brief description of:
·the purpose of the project, including the hypothesis or central research question that the project seeks to test/answer
·why it is important to undertake this research, including how the project contributes to the state-of-the-art
·what research methodology and approach will be used
·the complementarity between the candidate and UPT (Politehnica University Timisoara – the host institution).
What can I offer you:
- support and guidance in the development of the application;
- supervision and support in the development of the project, if it is funded;
- support and guidance in the development of a career plan;
- academic and professional training;
- opening up new research directions.
Pre-applications of interest can be submitted on an ongoing basis. They will be analysed based on the potential of the research project. We will assess the fit with my profile, expertise, and field of interest as a supervisor.
In general, my field of interest is the mechanical behaviour of conventional and advanced materials. I have a specific focus on fatigue degradation and fracture. I am interested in micromorphic theories related to the analysis of the mechanical behaviour of materials. I am also curious about new advances in numerical simulation using the finite element method.
