Postdoctoral Researcher in Hydrogen-Induced Degradation and Continued Airworthiness for Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

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 ...

[Full tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD studentship is based in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London and focuses on the durability of carbon fibre-reinforced thermosets under ultraviolet exposure. The project examines how the structure and composition of thermosetting epoxy polymers affect UV resistance, with the aim of understanding photodegradation mechanisms that can weaken composite surfaces and gener...

Delft University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on hydrogen-induced degradation and continued airworthiness for hydrogen-powered aircraft within the Dutch-funded HAPSS project, led by Concious Aerospace. The project is developing a hydrogen-electric propulsion system for integration into an existing Dash 8-300 aircraft, with the goal of supporting certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The research focuses on developing reliable and certification-...

University of Twente Vacancies is advertising a 4-year postdoc position on 3D-printing of polymer foams for drones , with a focus on resin formulation . The topic sits at the intersection of materials science , polymer processing , additive manufacturing , and drone-related engineering applications. This is a research position rather than a scholarship call. The post does not mention stipend, tuition, or fee waivers, and no deadline is included in the social post itself. The work is associated w...

The University of Cambridge’s Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy is offering a four-year PhD studentship in the Structural Materials Group, beginning 1 October 2027. Funded by EPSRC and Rolls-Royce plc, the project focuses on developing new high-performance polycrystalline nickel-based superalloys for gas turbine disc rotor components. The research will support more efficient, lower-emission civil aviation by designing alloys capable of operating under highly demanding temperature an...
