About this position

Met2Adapt is recruiting PhD researchers for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (Horizon Europe) focused on advanced meta-materials and meta-structures for renewable energy applications. The advertised opportunity at the National Technical University of Athens sits at the intersection of computational mechanics, machine learning, fracture mechanics, fatigue damage, and meta-material design.

The project aims to develop high-fidelity computational tools and data-driven methods for smart structural components used in offshore and onshore wind farms and wave-energy converters. Research themes across the network include meta-material development, AI-driven multi-scale and multi-physics modelling, autonomous monitoring technologies, and prognosis and uncertainty quantification.

For the Athens-based opening, the ideal candidate has a strong Master’s background in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Simulation Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong skills in computational solid mechanics, finite element modelling, fracture mechanics, and programming are expected. Experience with machine learning or surrogate modelling is considered an advantage. Good English skills and the ability to work in an international, multidisciplinary team are important.

The position is funded through a competitive MSCA fellowship and includes participation in the network’s training programme, with possible secondments at partner universities and industrial partners. The call is open to EU and international applicants, subject to eligibility conditions. The post mentions an application deadline of 30 June 2026 and an earliest start date of 1 September 2026 for the relevant opening.

Applicants are instructed to email Prof. Savvas Triantafyllou with an updated CV, research statement, and official transcripts. A general application link is also provided for the Met2Adapt recruitment page.

Funding details

The PhD position offers a competitive MSCA fellowship under the Met2Adapt Doctoral Network (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Horizon Europe) and full participation in the network’s international training programme. Some positions include secondments at partner universities and industrial partners. Funding details are project-based and the scholarship for some PhD tracks is subject to academic approval.

What's required

Applicants should hold a high-scoring Master's degree in Mechanical, Civil, Materials, Simulation or similar Engineering fields. Strong background in computational solid mechanics, fracture mechanics and finite element modelling is required, along with programming experience; exposure to machine-learning-based surrogate modelling is an asset. Good written and spoken English skills are required. Candidates should be able to work in a diverse, multidisciplinary and international team, present results at international conferences, and spend time at partner universities and industrial partners. Eligibility conditions apply and the call is open to EU and international applicants.
