3. Admission Requirements:

3.1. 2. Students enrolled in Master

3.2. 1. Study Area: Mechanical Engineering or Computational Engineering.

The proof of enrolment must be made available until the contract is awarded, and the candidate may attach a declaration of honor to confirm that they meet the requirements for enrolment in an integrated master's degree, master's or doctoral program or in a course that does not confer an academic degree.

If the qualification has been conferred by a foreign higher education institution it must be recognized by a Portuguese higher education institution, under the terms of the provisions of article 25 of Decree-Law no. 66/2018, of August 16th, which approves the legal regime of recognition of academic degrees and diplomas of Higher Education, attributed by foreign higher education institutions, and of paragraph e) of no. 2 of article 4 of Decree-Law no. 60/2018, of August 3rd, and any formalities established therein must be fulfilled by the date of the hiring act.

4. Other Requirements:Applicants must demonstrate knowledge of scientific programming, particularly Python or MATLAB, computational modelling and simulation, data processing and analysis, simulation automation, the use of ANSYS numerical simulation software, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques applied to the area of simulation of Thermoacoustic phenomena in combustion processes. Proficiency in European Portuguese is also mandatory, with oral and written communication skills appropriate for carrying out the activities envisaged under the research fellowship.

5. Eligibility: Applicants are eligible if they comply with paragraph a) of no.1 of article 2, of the Research Fellow Statute in the wording given by Decree-Law no. 123/2019, of August 28th, and also the provisions of article 9 of the Scientific Research Grant Regulations of the University of Aveiro.

6. Work plan: The fellowship holder will participate in the development of artificial intelligence tools to support computational simulation studies applied to the area of simulation of Thermoacoustic phenomena in combustion processes. Activities will include processing and analysing simulation data, developing programming routines to automate computational tasks, implementing machine-learning methods for analysing and predicting results, validating the tools developed, and preparing technical and scientific documentation.

7. Applicable legislation and regulations: Research Fellow Statute, as amended by Decree-Law No. 123/2019, of August 28th; Scientific Research Grant Regulation of the University of Aveiro, Regulation No. 292/2020, published in Diário da República No. 61, Series II, of March 26th; Decree-Law No. 66/2018, of August 16th (Legal regime of recognition of academic degrees and diplomas of higher education awarded by foreign higher education institutions).

8. Workplace: The work will be carried out at Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEM), TEMA - Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation of the University of Aveiro, under the scientific supervision of Prof. Doctor Nelson Amadeu Dias Martins.

9. Duration of the grant(s): The grant duration will be 3 months, starting in December of 2026, and may be renewed for additional periods of 6 months, up to the maximum limit of approved funding. Under no circumstances shall it exceed the limits defined in nos. 5 and 6 of article 9, of Regulation no. 292/2020, of February 28th, published in Diário da República, no. 61, Series II, of March 26th (Scientific Research Grant Regulation of the University of Aveiro).
