Offer Description CALL FOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
Scientific area(s): Mechanical engineering, or similar.
Skills/ Qualifications: Master or Integrated Master student who intends to develop his/her master's thesis in the scope of the project. The candidate must have an affinity for developing experimental tasks and solving problems.
Work plan/ Objectives: The AdsorSeason project aims to develop a new long-term solar thermal energy storage system configuration with high accumulation density and reduced thermal losses, combining an adsorption module with a conventional domestic hot water (DHW) storage system. The grant aims at the consolidation of scientific training through the development of research work that includes the following tasks:
Development of a small-scale prototype of a DHW reservoir with an integrated adsorption module.
Construction and instrumentation of the prototype.
Operational tests.
Regime: The attribution of the fellowship does not generate or entitle a relation of a legal-labor nature, and the fellowship is undertaken in an exclusive dedication regime.
Location: Work will be developed within the activities of the Association for the Development of Industrial Aerodynamics of the Associated Laboratory in Energy, Transport and Aeronautics (ADAI-LAETA). The workplaces are the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Coimbra or other necessary places for the execution of the work plan.
Duration: The fellowship will last for 6 months on an exclusive basis.
Scientific orientation: All applications submitted within the deadline and containing all required documents will be evaluated.
Selection Criteria: The selection method will be curricular evaluation, considering a weighting of 50% for academic qualifications and 50% for the degree of satisfaction of requirements relating to experience and knowledge. If necessary, an interview will be carried out (20% weighting) with the three best candidates selected to assess the candidates' experience and knowledge of how to properly perform the tasks.
Applications: The following documents are mandatory and must be sent by email to ****** (in English or Portuguese):
Letter of motivation, where the applicant must mention if he/she is available to start the scholarship;
Curriculum Vitae, with indication of email and telephone contact;
Certificate of qualification with a detailed academic history (courses and corresponding grading) and other relevant certificates;
Evidence of application or acceptance in a master program;
Copy of relevant publications (if any).
Note: Important note for candidates holding a degree issued by foreign higher education institutions: Applicants must submit proof of recognition of such degrees and the conversion of the respective final average grade to the Portuguese grading scale. Scholarship contracts with applicants whose diplomas have been issued by foreign institutions will only be concluded upon presentation of proof of recognition of academic degrees and conversion of the final average grade.
Form of publication/ notification of results: The evaluation results will be publicized through a list sorted by final grade obtained, via email.
Additional information: The evaluation results will be announced within 90 working days after the end of the application submission period. After the announcement of the results, candidates are automatically notified to comment on the results during a preliminary hearing period.
