COWI (http://www.cowi.com) A/S invites applications for postgraduate researchers to work in the Major Bridges Departments section for Structural Dynamics, in the field of Non Destructive Evaluation for the maintenance of large traffic structures. The positions are granted by COWI and the European Commission, under the FP7-PEOPLE-ITN project SMARTEN (http://www.smarten-itn.eu/), on Smart Management for Sustainable Human Environment, and are expected to lead to a PhD at the end of the 4-year project time-frame. The SMARTEN project aims to educate and train the next generation of researchers, engineers, research managers and directors in the field of Smart Management for Sustainable Human Environment, using Non Destructive Evaluation technologies. It involves some of the key European research organisations in the fields of Infrastructure Reliability and Management, Sensor Technology and Communications.

COWI's group for Structural Dynamics is involved as a European level expert institution in the fields of structural dynamics, structural health monitoring and bridge maintenance. Right now the grope is part of the project teams designing the Messina Strait Bridge in Italy, the Femern Belt Bridge to connect Denmark and Germany and the Qatar – Bahrain causeway. The involved research team consists of chief specialist and senior researchers with many years of consulting experience in the development of structural monitoring systems and bridge management systems for many of the largest infrastructure projects in the world.

COWI is a leading consulting engineering company within bridge and tunnel design. The company headquarter is in Copenhagen, Denmark. COWI employs more than 6000 persons worldwide working with the fields of engineering, environment and economics.
