Job descriptionDo you want to become a researcher who will develop new metrology testbench and analyze the screening effectiveness of cables bundles on board future vehicles? You can make a step change in designing Safe-and-Sustainable-by- Design Electromagnetic cable (bundles) for our future mobility. It is urgently needed.
We propose you to join a long-lasting multidisciplinary, academic-industrial network for doctoral training, with leading European industries and academia.
The Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (DN) “PARASOL – European Doctoral Network for Safe and Sustainable ElectroMagnetic Shielding Solutions for Mobility” has a consortium formed by 6 hiring Universities: TU Eindhoven (NL), University of Twente (NL), KU Leuven (BE), Tomáš Baťa University (CZ), University of York (UK) and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (ES). Together, these universities have a proven track record in the management of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Material Engineering, Sustainability Management, and System-Safety Engineering, and are the leaders in their field in Europe. 16 Industrial Partners are completing the Doctoral Network, and representing the complete life cycle of (future) shielding solutions dedicated to Mobility: starting with development of Innovative Material (DSM, Dycomet), design and packaging of Integrated Chips and Power Switches (NXP, CITC, Dynex), Interconnects and Cables design (Ferristorm, Radiotechnika, Schlegel) and, to ensure completeness of the traning program, all means of transport with cars (Jaguar-Land-Rover, Ford, Lotus), trains (Siemens), planes (NLR, Evektor) and ships (Thales).
This project has received funding from the European Union's EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Europe Horizon under Grant Agreement No. 101072881 and UKRI (Public Body for Innovation and Research in UK, for position DR5 and DR9).
Cables are at the heart of the revolution occurring in our electronic and electric systems for mobility. They are the key propagator of EMI: they catch, radiate, and amplify noise. Parasitic EM noise propagates in a cable as a current, or around it as EM waves.
You will develop an accurate measurement procedure to measure the energy exchange through the shield of a cable. The Reverberating Chamber (RC) is the most accurate means to measure radiation efficiencies because it allows isotropic device measurements. There is no need for device alignment or three- dimensional scans, as there would be in an anechoic chamber. Your measured Shielding efficiency in the RC will be compare with real-life performances on board at the companies: Jaguar-Land Rover, Siemens, Lotus, and Ford.
As one of the 12 Doctoral Candidates of the DN PARASOL, you will be trained to work in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with a new mindset tuned towards the inclusion of the Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework - a holistic approach that integrates the safety, circularity, energy efficiency and functionality of materials, products, and processes throughout their lifecycle – into the design of innovative shielding solutions for mobility. For this inclusion to occur, each DR will develop through their research the missing dedicated materials, tools and techniques, and apply them to a representative set of shielding solutions under development. This hands- on training is supplemented with several scientific professional courses and an immersive training where the DRs can fine-tune their skills for the Jobs of tomorrow, while addressing the societal challenges of the PARASOL program.
Job requirementsApplicants need to fully respect the following eligibility and mobility criteria (to demonstrated in the Europass CV):
1 Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will not be considered eligible.
2 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol.
Conditions of employmentA meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
