15 PhD Fellowship positions available in the
Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions Innovative Training Network "TREATMENT" (H2020-MSCA-ITN -721236)
European Training Network: Metabolic Dysfunctions associated with Pharmacological Treatment of Schizophrenia
Located in
Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Israel, Ireland, and Slovenia.
Project background and goal: TREATMENT is a Marie Sklodowska Curie Innovative Training Network proposal directly addressing the need for high-level training and career paths in risk evaluation of drug induced metabolic dysfunctions, a relevant aspect, so far unexplored by traditional toxicology studies, but urgently needed to challenge current severe limitations of health care interventions in mental disorders. These patients require life-long medications that subsequently trigger metabolic diseases with a strong negative impact on their health and well-being. To achieve this, and improve adherence to treatments, we will evaluate how short-term antipsychotic drug responses impact long-term metabolic control to identify and validate biomarkers with clinically predictive value for targeting drug induced metabolic dysfunctions. This effort will have added commercial value by enabling the design of predictive marker kits for testing adverse secondary metabolic effects of drugs to
be used in pharmacological and medical practice. TREATMENT will provide multidisciplinary knowledge, capabilities and tools to implement this ambitious strategy by the training of young scientists in a program that combines pharmacology, metabolism and mental health research with strategies for product and tool design and validation. Our ultimate goal is to empower the intersectorial and trans-national employability of young scientists across academic, public and private sectors to foster the development and implementation of personalized medicine tools that will provide effective treatment regimens for life long health-care interventions and decrease the risk for development of chronic metabolic diseases.
Career Stage
Early Stage Researcher (ESR) or 0-4 yrs. (Post Graduate)
Qualifications required for entry into the PhD program in each partners country can be found on each partners website or by contacting the partner by email (see links in the project descriptions section).

ICCRAM-UNIVERSITY OF BURGOS (Spain) has a PostDoc vacancy related to the design,characterization, and modeling of Receivers for Advanced Concentrated Solar Power Plants.
DESCRIPTION:
Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine connected to an electrical powergenerator or powers a thermo-chemical reaction. The component that receives the concentrated sunlight,called the receiver, is subject to thermal cycles and high thermal gradients, which can lead to internal failure of the component, thus reducing its lifetime. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge of the
underlying physical and chemical processes to which the receiver is subjected are fundamental for improving its design and lifetime.
The Excellence Research Center ICCRAM (http://wwww.ubu.es/iccram) has a 24 month PostDoc vacancy for the design, characterization, and modeling of (ceramic- or metal-based) receivers used in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants. On the one hand, the PostDoc candidate will perform tasks related to the engineering design of both the damage-tolerance materials as well as the receiver component, using thermo-structural, thermodynamic, and CFD modeling at multiple time- and lengthscales.
On the other hand, the candidate will be involved in experimental characterization to determine thermophysical
properties, thermo-mechanical resistance, thermal shock resistance, and mechanical performance and durability of both the materials and the receiver component. The PostDoc candidate will be integrated in the H2020-NMBP-NEXTOWER project, collaborating with scientists across Europe.
We are looking for highly motivated, ambitious and talented PostDoc researchers. The selected candidate
will be based at the Excellence Research Center ICCRAM in Burgos, Spain, possibly performing research stays at the research and development agency ENEA in Rome, Italy, and the University of Oxford, UK.
PROFILE:
Candidates must have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. The working language will be English, although knowledge of the Spanish language is desirable.

Thermodynamic modeling (i.e. CalPhad method).
Computational Fluid Dynamics (e.g. ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM).
Computational methods (e.g. Finite Element Methods, Finite Difference Methods).
Numerical programming skills (e.g. C/C++, Fortran, Python, Matlab).
Multi-scale modeling (Finite Element/Difference, meso-scale modeling, molecular dynamics).
Capacity to work in a team, flexibility, willing to carry out international research stays and research motivation and enthusiasm.
Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Broad experience, published articles, participation in European projects.
OFFER:
Postdoctoral contract with an annual gross income of €30.000-€35.000 dependent on the candidate's
