Masoud Jabbari

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.

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the UK on physics-based modelling of battery slurry mixing for scalable manufacturing . The project is aimed at students interested in battery manufacturing , computational modelling , CFD-DEM simulations , experimental validation , and process optimisation . The research focuses on improving battery slurry mixing and supporting industrial scale-up. Supervision/research team mentioned in the post includes Masoud Jabbari , Meisam Babaie , and Mark Wilson , with industry collaborators/advisors Dr Helen Walker from UKBIC and Dr Robert Mitchell from CPI . Eligibility: funding is available to UK home students only . The post does not mention a deadline, stipend amount, or tuition details.
