PhD Opportunities in Aerospace Engineering in Italy

The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L’Aquila is offering six Ph.D. positions in its doctoral program Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences . The program is organized within GSSI’s Mathematics area, which brings together faculty working across analysis, fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, and probability/statistical mechanics. The doctoral structure includes graduate coursework in the first year, after which students choose a research project and a thesis advisor. The advertised...

The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L’Aquila, Italy, is offering six fully funded positions within its four-year PhD programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences. The Fluid Dynamics area welcomes applicants to develop their own research focus rather than joining a predefined project. The Fluid Dynamics group investigates a broad range of problems in fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics, including turbulent flows, high-speed aerodynamics, heat transfer, hydrody...

PhD opportunity in the HyNOISE Doctoral Network at the Polytechnic University of Bari, with the research work hosted in collaboration with the EM2C combustion laboratory at CentraleSupélec / Université Paris-Saclay in France. This Doctoral Candidate (DC2) project focuses on the prediction and control of combustion noise and thermoacoustic instabilities in hydrogen-air flames, a topic at the interface of aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics, and simulation/model-based co...

HyNOISE Doctoral Network is offering a fully funded PhD position (Doctoral Candidate DC3) focused on large-eddy simulations of hydrogen-air combustion dynamics and tonal noise in annular combustors. The project is hosted in a collaborative European network involving academic and industrial partners working on hydrogen combustion, combustion acoustics, and low-noise gas turbine technologies. The research is centered on predicting and controlling direct and indirect noise from hydrogen flames, wit...

PhD opportunity in hydrogen combustion, ignition, and thermoacoustics. The HyNOISE Doctoral Network is recruiting Doctoral Candidate DC4 for research on auto- and forced ignition in swirled stabilized flow configurations. The project focuses on understanding ignition dynamics, flame stabilization, flame extinction, and the interaction between turbulence, acoustic/pressure waves, and reactive flow processes in hydrogen-air combustion systems. Research context. The work combines advanced large-edd...

HyNOISE Doctoral Candidate DC7 is a fully funded PhD position focused on the identification and modelling of hydrodynamic and thermo-diffusive instabilities that drive combustion noise in turbulent hydrogen flames. The project is part of the Horizon Europe MSCA-funded HyNOISE Doctoral Network, an international consortium dedicated to predicting and controlling direct and indirect noise generated by hydrogen flames. The network combines academic and industry expertise to develop new models and to...

PhD opportunity in the DIViNE Doctoral Network (Democratic Institutions and Violence Network in Europe) at the University of Milan, with research mobility and training also at Uppsala University. This fully funded doctoral position, DC6: Security Externalities and Post-Conflict Democratization, is part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network under Horizon Europe. The project examines how security provision, development pathways, and institutional reform interact in post-conflict set...

PhD opportunity in Cardiovascular Deconditioning and Space Medicine at Politecnico di Torino This CSC-funded PhD project is hosted by DIMEAS at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and focuses on the computational investigation of cardiovascular deconditioning in space medicine. The project is led by Prof. Stefania Scarsoglio and Prof. Luca Ridolfi, with contact via [email protected] and [email protected]. The research addresses how long-duration spaceflight alters cardiovascular funct...

Politecnico di Torino is offering a PhD position in reconfigurable elastic metamaterials within the Department of Applied Science and Technology. The project is set in the broad area of wave propagation in architected media, with a strong focus on how external stimuli, deformation, flows, and intrinsic nonlinearities can be exploited to tailor the behaviour of elastic and acoustic waves. The research aims to understand and control phenomena such as dispersion, localization, transmission, mode co...
