Postdoctoral Fellowship in Advanced Materials Processing, Functional Ceramics, and Computational Modelling at University of Leeds University of Leeds in United Kingdom

Call for Postdoctoral Fellowships under MSCA PF 2026 at the University of Leeds, hosted by Research@MechEng.

The announcer, Masoud Jabbari (Assistant Professor at the University of Leeds; Visiting Researcher at the University of York), is looking for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with a strong academic track record and a compelling research idea.

Research areas include advanced materials processing and manufacturing, especially 3D printing for ceramics and polymers (explicitly not metals), functional ceramics such as batteries and fuel cells, computational modelling (CFD, DEM, heat and mass transport, electrochemistry), and data-driven optimisation and machine learning.

This is a postdoctoral opportunity, not a PhD or master's opening. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme is for researchers holding a PhD and meeting the programme mobility rules. The post says the host will provide dedicated support in proposal development, access to cutting-edge research facilities, and a collaborative interdisciplinary environment.

Funding under MSCA PF typically covers a living allowance, mobility allowance if applicable, family allowance if applicable, long-term leave and special needs allowances, plus research, training, networking, management, and indirect costs.

Application process: interested candidates should send a CV and a short research proposal (1–2 pages) to the announcer. Early expressions of interest are strongly encouraged. The official submission deadline mentioned in the post is 9 September 2026, with project start from April 2027.

Institution: University of Leeds, United Kingdom.
