The University of Dundee invites applications for the 2026 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering. This opportunity is ideal for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with expertise in offshore structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering for offshore applications, or materials science related to offshore structures. The research topics may include the design and application of high-performance connection components, the use of advanced materials in offshore structures, and innovative anchoring and foundation technologies for offshore renewable energy platforms. Successful candidates will join an interdisciplinary research cluster led by Professor Michael Brown, who has a strong track record of successful MSCA projects, including recent awards. The team offers a collaborative and impactful research environment with robust links to industry and international partners, providing excellent opportunities for professional development and research impact. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, materials science, or a closely related field. Demonstrated research experience in relevant areas and excellent English language skills are required. Candidates should be motivated for interdisciplinary and international collaboration. The fellowship is funded through the EU Research Framework Programme (Horizon Europe - MSCA), ensuring financial support for successful applicants. The application deadline is 10 September 2026. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Lin at [email protected] before 15 June 2026, using the subject line 'MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026', and include their CV and a brief statement of research interests. The team will work with applicants to develop a competitive proposal for submission. For further information about the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships, visit the official MSCA website. The University of Dundee is located in Dundee, Angus, United Kingdom, and offers a vibrant academic environment for advancing the frontiers of offshore infrastructure research.
