Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geometric Computing, Computational Design, Numerical Optimization, Architectural Geometry, and Digital Fabrication at EPFL
EPFL’s Geometric Computing Laboratory is seeking a
postdoctoral researcher
interested in applying for a
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship
. The opportunity is hosted at
École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
in Switzerland and is led by
Professor Mark Pauly
.
The lab works at the intersection of
geometric computing
,
computational design
,
numerical optimization
,
architectural geometry
, and
digital fabrication
. Their research focuses on empowering creators through efficient simulation and optimization algorithms, computational design methodologies for advanced material systems, and fabrication technologies. The group combines mathematical reasoning, geometric abstractions, and numerical methods, and also collaborates with artists, designers, and industry partners.
This is a
funded postdoctoral fellowship
opportunity through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. The EU funding can cover a living allowance, mobility allowance if applicable, family allowance, long-term leave and special needs allowances, as well as research, training, networking, management, and indirect costs. The post is therefore suitable for experienced researchers seeking an internationally mobile postdoc in a highly interdisciplinary environment.
Applicants should have a strong background in one or more of the following:
geometric computing
,
computational design
,
numerical optimization
,
architectural geometry
, or
digital fabrication
. The linked MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships programme requires a
PhD
by the application deadline, a maximum of
eight years of research experience
, and compliance with the mobility rules of the call.
To apply, interested candidates should contact Professor Mark Pauly and develop a joint application with the host organisation for the relevant MSCA call. The application is submitted via the
Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal
once the call is open. More information about the lab and its research is available through the provided lab link.
