About this position

San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego are advertising a fully funded PhD opportunity through the SDSU–UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

The project is based in the Yang Lab and focuses on multi-material 3D printing, advanced manufacturing, smart materials, robotics, and structural mechanics. The doctoral researcher will investigate how advanced additive-manufacturing methods can be used to create and engineer multi-material structures, with work spanning mechanical design, material behavior, fabrication, and robotic or automated processes.

The opportunity is suited to applicants interested in the intersection of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, robotics, and structural mechanics. The joint-program environment connects San Diego State University with the University of California, San Diego and supports interdisciplinary doctoral research in advanced manufacturing and smart materials.

Funding details

Fully funded position with full tuition coverage and a competitive stipend, according to the PI.

What's required

Applicants should hold a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, mechanics, materials science, or physics, with strong 3D-printing and research skills.

How to apply

Apply through the SDSU Engineering Joint Doctoral Program for Fall 2027. Contact Dr. Yang Yang at [email protected] for position and application details.
