The research group Analysis and Advanced Materials for Structural Design (AMADE– Universitat de Girona, http://amade.udg.edu) is a research group that responds to the demand of the industrial sector in three particular areas:
· Innovation (new designs, new materials, new design tools),
· Product improvement,
· Analysis of in-service behavior.
From AMADE wesupport the R+D activities of companies. Market demands and incentives from the Public Administration motivate companies develop R+D projects. Often, however, they do so without sufficiently specialized staff and without the specific equipment needed to do it, especially in small and medium-sized companies.
AMADE seeks Postdoctoral candidates for the 7 FP Marie Curie 2012 Fellowship that will close in August 2012. We are interested both in Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) and International Incoming Fellowships (IIF). The candidates are expected to contribute to one of the following research interest:
Project 1: Enhancement of the mechanical behavior of composite structures by means of the optimum design of tow-hybrid thin-ply laminates.
Requested Profile: Physicists or engineers specialized in composite materials and computational models to simulate the mechanical behavior of composite structures.
Project 2: Thermal recovery of plastic deformation capacity of elasto-plastic energy dissipators subjected to low-cycle fatigue.
Requested Profile: Physicists or engineers specialized in materials or engineers specialized in steel structures, ultimate behavior of structures or earthquake engineering.
Project 3: Implementation of numerical models for the instantaneous and time-dependent behaviour prediction of reinforced concrete structures strengthened or reinforced using different materials (i. e. steel and FRP).
Requested Profile: Engineers specialized in modelling of reinforced concrete structures.
The successful applicants will integrate into a research group composed of 15 doctors, 19 PhD students, 4 Master students, and 12 technicians for a period of 2 years.
How to Apply:
Qualified candidates should send their CV indicating the candidate’s research experience and academic titles, together with a motivation letter focused on one of the mentioned research projects. This information should be sent toinfo@amade.udg.edu at latest on May 27 2012.
Application Deadline : 27 May 2012
