We are seeking 22 Ph.D. candidates, called early-stage researchers
(ESRs) to work under the project titled A2M2TECH (Doctoral Programme
in Advanced Materials & Advanced Manufacturing Technologies). The
aim of A2M2TECH is to deliver an interdisciplinary, inter-sectorial and
international excellence doctoral training programme in all aspects of
advanced manufacturing and advanced materials, with a major focus
on additive manufacturing and related technologies. The programme
brings together various strong laboratories and research centers in
order to run a collaborative Ph.D. programme in the fields of Advanced
Materials and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies.
The programme is led by Gazi University (GU) (gazi.edu.tr/view/
Index) in Turkey and coordinated through the Additive Manufacturing
Technologies Application and Research Center (EKTAM) (ektam.
gazi.edu.tr/view/Index), a National Center of Excellence for Additive
Manufacturing. In addition to GU, there are 3 other reputable Turkish
universities as Partner Organizations namely; Middle East Technical
University (METU) (metu.edu.tr/), Istanbul Technical University (ITU)
(itu.edu.tr/en/) and Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) (en.iyte.
edu.tr/). All universities as part of the programme have cutting-edge
technologies and have modern working environment with a view to
enhancing the performance of the ESRs. Recruited ESR fellows under
A2M2TECH will be primarily supervised and assessed by the Ph.D.
DANMARK supervisors at their host institutions, who will be responsible for the
assessment of their duties with respect to the planned activities.
The programme, cofounded by European Commission (ec.europa.
eu/info/index_en) and the Scientific and Technological Research
Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) (tubitak.gov.tr/en), provides excellent
career perspectives in the area of additive manufacturing through the
integration of multidisciplinary research and training in academia and
industry. Recruited 22 ESRs will be provided with the opportunity to
carry out research activities under secondments in several national
& international host institutions with a particular focus on the inter-
GERMANY
sectoral University-Industry collaboration. All candidates will have
secondment experience in international institutions as follows: FIT
Additive Manufacturing Group (GERMANY) (fit.technology/index_
en.php), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) (SPAIN) (uc3m.es),
University of Southern Denmark (SDU) (DENMARK) (sdu.dk), Tusaş
Aerospace Industries (TAI) (TURKEY) (tusas.com/en), Ermaksan
Innovative Technologies (ERMAKSAN) (TURKEY) (ermaksan.com.tr/
en-EN/) and TeknoHAB (TURKEY) (teknohab.com.tr/). ESRs will be
SPAIN participating to summer school training activities each year at different
organizations in different countries as part of secondments.
Through this programme, the potential ESRs will have the opportunity
to grow academically and also built their career in the industry at
TURKEY INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES the same time. Once the potential ESRs are selected and qualified as
ESRs, they will also be part of a wide range of scientific networking
TURKEY of the hosting top research organizations/universities and research
centers.
TURKEY ESRs have the chance to complete their Ph.D. in top research Universities
in Turkey. In addition to that, they will also be working in organizations
DESCRIPTION and techno-parks equipped with cutting edge technology in the
field of advanced materials and advanced manufacturing. Moreover,
the programme is designed to enhance their experience by including
OF THE PROGRAMME summer schools in and outside Turkey and also hands-on activities in
real world/industry.
