We are hiring Doctoral Candidates:

UNVEIL is recruiting 12 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) hosted by 10 beneficiary institutions in 6 countries. DCs are employed full-time under national legislation and MSCA Work Programme provisions. The research and training programme covers nondestructive evaluation (THz, ultrasound, IR thermography), spectral and surface imaging, multimodal data fusion and visualisation (Digital Twins, AR), and heritage science. It also includes network-wide training, transferable skills development, international secondments, and joint supervision. Selection follows MSCA principles: openness, transparency, equal opportunities, gender balance, impartiality, and merit-based evaluation. The expected start date is September / October 2026.

You will find below the collective advertisement summarizing all 12 DC positions, with a contact point listed for each offer.
