In the framework of the YUFE4postodocs Marie Sklodowska-Curie project (https://www.yufe4postdocs.eu/ – see also the enclosed leaflet), postdoc positions lasting 36 months are available with quite attractive conditions. The project is part of the activities of the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) European University Alliance (https://yufe.eu/).

A possible research field, that currently is to be framed under the topics Sustainability or Digital societies, is energy harvesting, where a colleague of mine from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, and I would be willing to be the supervisor and the co-supervisor of an interested applicant/postdoc.

The call (https://www.yufe4postdocs.eu/call/), for applications to be submitted via the web page https://forms.uantwerpen.be/en/yufe4postdocs/application-call1/, is opened up to May 7^th.

If at your institutions there could be interested candidates that have earned their doctoral degree in the last 6 years, please do kindly ask them to get in touch with me so that I can provide them all the other eventually needed information.

Structural Health Monitoring Damage Detection Systems for Aerospace

• This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.
• Presents the state-of-the-art in SHM technologies for aerospace.
• Describes typical applications and maturity of each method.
• Gives full details of each method so readers can quickly familiarize themselves.
• Reviews in depth the defects to be detected alongside their relevance.

This article/publication is based upon work from COST Action CA18203 (ODIN – https://odin-cost.com/), supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
