PhD positions Engineering Systems: Sustainable Energy
The PhD Program on Sustainable Energy Systems educates a new generation of sustainability aware leaders with expertise in energy systems and economics who will generate and communicate new knowledge within academia and industry. The program combines multidisciplinary studies, in both engineering and economics domains, at the levels of energy systems analysis and conception, in the context of sustainable development with a strong emphasis on leadership and entrepreneurial activities. ?To successfully address these challenges, Sustainable Energy System Focus Area participants will work on the development and integration of new energy system simulation and design methodologies, including educational programs which disseminate this knowledge. Research activities will include the dynamics among energy services and supplies, including opportunities for combined heat and power and renewables in the distribution network. To the extent possible, these new approaches will be tested through real-world case studies.
Candidates may simultaneously apply for FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology) scholarships.
Degree in one of the following areas: mechanical engineering, electrotechnical engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering or computer science, physics, architecture, economics or management.

Master’s positions Engineering Systems: Complex Transport Infrastructure Systems
The Complex Transport Infrastructure Systems (CTIS) program is unique, bringing together the tradition and rigor of a Master in Engineering with the insights of an MBA. The CTIS course builds on three key domains: engineering, management and financing; policy and regulation in a blend. The program enables contact with one or two major international projects, by means of documentation and presentations by some of their responsible experts, and a series of seminars by renowned experts in the various domains. CTIS prepares students for professional careers involving all aspects of the conception, construction, financing and exploitation of complex transport infrastructure systems. Top ranking students are encouraged to apply. ?For more information on the CTIS Course, please visit: http://www.civil.ist.utl.pt/nispt/mit/ctis.
A few corporate fellowships are available, covering the value of tuition. Students applying to the CTIS degree will automatically be considered for these fellowships.
Degree in one of the following areas: civil engineering, urban planning, computer science, economics and other engineering and social sciences.
