Offer Description

 Research Objectives: (1) To evaluate design methodologies and geometry optimization through simulations for enhancing HX applications in sCO2 power systems. (2) To investigate different alloys for its processability through additive manufacturing technologies. (3) To analyse the optimum AM process parameters for desired application. (4) To characterize the material: thermo-mechanical and chemical properties as well as microstructure. (5) To investigate post processing steps, including thermal treatments, surface finishing, weldability, etc. (6) To evaluate the best AM technology for producing the targeted components and geometries through representative samples. (7) Investigate on non destructive evaluation techniques for highly complex geometries validation. (8) To investigate the functional capacity of HX demonstrators with special focus on sCO2 power systems. (9) To derive recommendation for designers and manufacturers.

Selection process

STAGE 1: The first stage of the evaluation procedure will be based on the applicant’s Application Package, comprised of the following items:

  • CV Europass (https://europa.eu/europass/en/create-europass-cv )
  • Letter of motivation
  • Analysis of the challenges faced by the energy sector to accomplish Carbon Neutrality by 2050, and the associated needs for technology development (max 3 pages)
  • Short video (less than 2min): why I should be selected for the position. The candidates should address some of the following questions:
    • D1: Why did you decide to apply for a position in ISOP?
    • D2: What do you expect/want to gain from an MSCA programme?
    • D3: How do you think you can add value to an MSCA programme?
    • D4: Summarise your strengths and weaknesses.
    • D5: Describe a time when you had to deliver a challenging project. What was your role and what was the outcome?
    • D6: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
    • D7: Why should you be selected for the position?
  • Letters of recommendation (not mandatory)

The application package must not exceed 15 Mb
