Postdoc Opportunities in Structural Engineering in Norway

The Micromechanical and Horological Design Laboratory (INSTANT-LAB) at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to advance the design of flexure-based mechanisms. These compliant mechanisms rely on elastic deformation rather than conventional joints, enabling precise motion in demanding environments where frictionless operation, repeatability, reduced maintenance, and monolithic construction are especially valuable. The project focuses on developing a new design and modelling framework for f...

EPFL’s Micromechanical and Horological Design Laboratory (INSTANT-LAB) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance the design and modelling of flexure-based mechanisms. These compliant mechanisms generate motion through the elastic deformation of slender structural elements instead of conventional sliding or rolling joints. The research addresses the performance trade-offs that limit high-performance flexure mechanisms, including motion range, load-carrying capability, stiffness and sensitiv...

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by ISAE-ENSMA within the ENDO team of the Pprime laboratory (UPR CNRS 3346) . It is part of the AnoHona PRC project, a wider collaborative effort involving French laboratories and the University of La Plata in Argentina. The project focuses on advanced nonlinear homogenization for structural analysis and aims to improve the way microstructural variability is represented in structural calculations. The position is centered on an SFRP injected industrial demo...

This postdoc at Aarhus University focuses on multibody dynamics and hybrid testing with application to floating wind turbines . The successful candidate will join the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Structural Engineering, and contribute to ongoing externally funded research projects as well as teaching activities. The research combines computational and experimental work. On the computational side, the postdoc will develop methods for multibody dynamics and support the creati...

This postdoctoral position at Ghent University sits within the Mechanics of Materials and Structures department and is part of a broader research effort on composite hydrogen storage systems. The work centers on the numerical simulation, finite element modelling, and structural design of pressurized composite hydrogen tanks used both in vehicles and in refueling infrastructure. The project is embedded in Belgium’s active hydrogen technology ecosystem and is carried out in collaboration with indu...

Louisiana State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to research the market potential and construction applications of solid carbon produced through turquoise hydrogen. The project will develop a material flow analysis framework for the use of solid carbon in U.S. asphalt and concrete markets. The researcher will investigate how incorporating solid carbon affects the mechanical, thermal, and durability performance of construction materials, and will map performance thresholds—including s...

Howard University’s University Transportation Center is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to support projects in structural health monitoring (SHM) of transportation infrastructure . The role centers on developing and deploying sensing and data-driven approaches to assess the condition of transportation assets and improve transportation safety. The associate will work on federally funded research that combines field deployments , large-scale time-series data processing , and advanced analysis me...

The Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience (CAT) at Lehigh University is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to join its expanding research activities and contribute to a new multi-university consortium. The position sits within Dr. Paolo Bocchini’s research group and centers on collaborative work in catastrophe modeling and resilience assessment. The successful candidate will work on fundamental or applied research tied to the center’s core themes, with main topics including ha...
