Fully Funded PhD Opportunities in Aerospace Structures, Materials, and Data-Driven Engineering at Carleton University Carleton University in Canada

Carleton University in Canada is advertising fully funded PhD opportunities in the Aerospace Structures and Materials Engineering Laboratory (ASME-Lab) within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

The positions are supervised by Prof. Mostafa El Sayed and are aimed at highly motivated, autonomous, and academically strong candidates. The lab works at the intersection of aerospace structures, advanced materials, multiphysics simulation, optimization, and data-driven engineering.

Research directions include: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI), and aeroacoustics; data-driven modeling for engineering systems using machine learning, physics-informed machine learning, and reduced-order modeling; and fracture, fatigue, and structural health monitoring for 3D-printed metals, composites, and hybrid materials.

Eligibility highlights include graduation from an internationally recognized university, a minimum academic standing equivalent to CGPA 10.5/12 on Carleton’s scale in the last 20 relevant courses, at least one first-author publication with the Master’s supervisor in a Q1 or Q2 journal, and strong analytical, computational, experimental, and/or programming skills.

Interested applicants should email their CV, transcripts, and a brief statement of research interests to [email protected]. The post says that three PhD students will be recruited and that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
