15 PhD Positions, Acoutect European Training Network, Europe (2017)

Acoutect is an European training network that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie action (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016). Acoutect marries “Acoustics” and “Architect” and responds to the important role that Acousticians have in the design of modern buildings. The Acoutect consortium is composed of top universities, research institutions and companies in various disciplines and sectors of building acoustics and beyond. Within Acoutect we are seeking for 15 early‐stage researchers (ESRs) for a duration of 36 months to join the different research positions offered by the Acoutect Consortium in Europe.

Training programme for ESRs

Acoutect project includes a comprehensive and coherent scientific and transferable skills training programme for the ESRs. The training is provided via the individual research projects, summer schools, courses, workshops and secondments.

The main goals of the training are:
- provide ESRs with the prerequisites to undertake research and development in the field of building acoustics, ensuring acoustic quality of modern and future building concepts,
- built excellent perspectives for a career of the ESRs in industry or academia within the area of building acoustics.

Job conditions
Each host organisation will appoint the successful applicant under an employment contract with a very competitive salary. The fellow is expected to join their host organizations starting from July 2017 (estimated time). Additional funding for participation to courses, workshops, conferences, etc. is ensured.

The positions are highly multidisciplinary and we are looking for candidates ranging from MSc or MEng in acoustics, mechanical engineering, solid-mechanics, materials, building physics, physics, computational engineering, computational mechanics, computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, psychology, psychoacoustics.

The application process will be open until all positions are filled.
