Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse is looking for outstanding candidates, eager to join to a team of PhD students in a European Innovative Training Network.
The DOC-3D-CERAM network, ‘Development Of Ceramics 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing’, is a transnational multidisciplinary EU network focused on ceramics 3D printing or Ceramics Additive manufacturing applied on medical and aerospace fields. The penetration of 3D-printing processes in the ceramics industry remains low. Indeed, the additive manufacturing community addresses mostly metallic or polymeric materials, and the ceramics industry lacks skilled researchers likely to exploit academic proofs of concepts to innovations. The aim of the project is to develop the whole value chain of ceramics 3D printing from elaborating feedstock to testing in products for commercialisation.
This DOC-3D-CERAM team includes six academic, one non-profit association and seven non-academic partners with varied expertise. Structured PhD training at the host institution will include participation in network meetings, workshops and secondments to academic and industrial partner institutes. The young researchers will experience working environments in different countries and have opportunities to create their own personal networks.
Number of Early Stage Researchers positions available: 14
