Postdoc Optical Metrology for Full-Scale Crash Testing of Hydrogen Aircraft Tanks Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in spacecraft propulsion, focusing on the extension of Hall thruster operational range through design and propellant optimisation . The project investigates how Hall ion thrusters can be adapted to deliver a wider range of thrust performance: from higher-thrust operation to highly fuel-efficient modes. You will work with thruster databases , optimisation , simulation , and experimental validation to study how geometry choices such as channel diame...

Delft University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the Duramorph project on fatigue behavior in non-traditional composite laminates. The research addresses how to predict fatigue performance in arbitrary lay-ups while reducing the extensive testing traditionally required for each laminate configuration. The project focuses on the effect of fibre orientation on mode II delamination growth in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) lay-ups. A central challenge is understanding ...

UGent-MMS at Ghent University is offering a 4-year PhD project in the experimental characterization of snap fit joints . The research is centered on complex snap-lock/clickable connections used in products such as window profiles, laminate flooring, injection-moulded automotive parts, construction elements, medical devices, and consumer goods. The project goes beyond simple cantilever-based snap fits and instead examines joints that experience complex engagement and service conditions. The PhD w...

Javad Taghipour, Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Dyson Institute, says a fully funded PhD position will be advertised soon. The project sits at the intersection of physics-informed machine learning , nonlinear model identification , and structural dynamics . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in advanced engineering research that blends mechanics, data-driven modeling, and computational methods. The post does not yet include the official advert, eligibility criteria,...

Nanyang Technological University Singapore is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Mechanics to contribute to collaborative projects on shape-morphing materials and their applications to adaptive aeronautics. The research will involve designing novel shape-morphing structures and mechanisms, developing models for sensing and control, experimentally implementing designs, engaging with project collaborators, and preparing scientific reports, papers, and presentations. Relevant interests inclu...
