Post-doctoral scholarships in Sustainable and Smart Cities and Mechanical Engineering programs
We’re delighted to announce the availability of five post-doctoral positions within our Graduate programs in Sustainable and Smart Cities and Mechanical Engineering. Fundação Araucária, a prominent Research Agency based in Curitiba, Brazil, financially supports these positions.
This project aims to attract motivated and talented individuals to join our research team, dedicated to tackling climate challenges through innovative research, policy formulation, and collaborative efforts across institutions. We’re committed to fostering the development of resilient and sustainable cities, focusing on crucial areas such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and environmental sustainability.
The research activities and scholarships are segmented into five distinct calls:
A: Simulations and/or development of models, codes, and/or techniques to assist in the analysis of building and/or city performance assessment related to energy and pollution aspects
Main requirement: PhD in Engineering or Architecture (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rgfslzi81ewuuz609vi6j/PostDoc_PUCPR_Brazil_A_Engineering.pdf?rlkey=xjschquthgbk32d95llv0q7ic&dl=0)
