Up to 9 PhD fellowships are awarded for Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate SEED program. The program provides in-depth training in the development and implementation of new state-of-the-art computational techniques for the modelling and solution of cutting-edge engineering problems in industry. Fellowships will be distributed in 2 categories according to the applicant nationality and previous international experience: Category A (applicant come from a non European country) and Category B (applicant are a not a Category A candidate). Monthly allowances in the form of employment contracts will be provided to all successful EMJD-SEED candidates during 3-4 years depending on each individual doctoral plan.

Study Subject (s):
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate SEED provides in-depth training in the development and implementation of new state-of-the-art computational techniques for the modelling and solution of cutting-edge engineering problems in industry. Research will be carried out one or more up-to-date techniques such as: Discontinuous Galerkin (DG), Fluid Structure Interaction (FI), Isogeometric analysis, X-FEM, Mesh-free methods, Mortar Methods, Error estimation, Multi-scale analysis and Mesh generation. The complexities of such models require new computational approaches, which are the main focus of SEED research activities. As a result, SEED candidates aim to cover important areas in engineering which include: Biomedical engineering: vascular system, respiratory system, tissue engineering; Civil engineering: soil stability, foundations, earthquake engineering, durability; Aerospace engineering: composite materials, turbulence analysis, aerodynamics and Environmental engineering: noise analysis, pollution analysis, risk management.

Application deadline is January 5, 2015
