Open Postdoc Position at EPFL / Instant-Lab Instant-Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in advanced flexure-mechanism design . The project focuses on developing a new design and modelling framework for flexure-based mechanisms that can handle multiple performance criteria while remaining robust to manufacturing tolerances. The work is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and includes an industrial collaboration supported by the Swiss Innovation Agency . The successful candidat...

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in optimization-driven verification and validation of precision machines . The project focuses on discovering how high-precision machines can fail before they are built. The researcher will help develop optimization-driven methods that automatically identify critical “unknown-unsafe” scenarios in semiconductor equipment and other high-tech systems. This opportunity is particularly relevant to researchers in mechanical ...

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 ...
