Investigate damage-tolerant alloys for fusion-energy and space applications in central Cambridge. Characterise plastic deformation and fracture through tensile, toughness and fatigue testing, electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Develop experimental equipment and work with collaborators including Lawrence Livermore National…
Develop a scaled-boundary computational framework for dynamic nonlinear analysis of large structures. The project integrates digital geometric modelling with computational mechanics to produce robust, automated simulation methods and software. The associate works with Professor Chongmin Song and academic colleagues. This 12-month full-time appointment…
Develop methods combining bifurcation analysis, robust optimisation and uncertainty quantification for nonlinear structural dynamics and aeroelastic flutter mitigation in high-altitude, long-endurance drones. The work includes modelling uncertain nonlinear systems, numerical implementation and comparative evaluation of robust bifurcation-diagram…

Investigate how deliberately structured surfaces interact under contact and loading. The doctoral work connects experiments and modelling to the deformation and failure of materials.
Develop magnetic-resonance imaging and particle-tracking methods to investigate how granular materials flow, mix and deform. The doctoral project combines experimental equipment development with studies of soft and irregular particles.
Investigate how friction and particle geometry determine the collective flow of concentrated suspensions. Develop particle-scale simulations, compare them with experimental data and use the results to connect microscopic interactions to macroscopic mechanics.
Build a programmable network of coupled Kerr parametric oscillators and measure its nonlinear dynamics. Experiments will map attractors, switching and probability currents and compare measured trajectories with simulations and analytical models.
Research additive manufacturing processes for nickel-based superalloys in NIMS’s Research Center for Structural Materials. The appointment is at the Sengen site in Tsukuba, with a negotiable start on or after 1 December 2026. The initial one-year contract can be renewed according to performance and institutional criteria, up to a maximum of five years. The…
Tenure-track recruitment in solid mechanics within Harvard’s Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering programme. The role combines research with undergraduate and graduate teaching, training and advising. The expected start is 1 July 2027. Review begins on 15 November 2026 and continues until filled. SEAS materials and mechanical engineering faculty…
The Chair in Nonlinear Dynamics recruits a doctoral researcher to develop interpretable, data-driven models for complex physical systems. Work centres on spectral submanifold methods and nonlinear model reduction, with possible applications to fluid–structure interaction, materials with memory, soft robotics, teleoperation, space structures and turbulence.…
The Solid Mechanics professorship seeks an experimental postdoctoral researcher to investigate how soft and architected materials deform and fracture. The role develops quantitative experiments using confocal or high-speed imaging, digital image correlation and particle tracking to measure crack-tip behaviour, strain, fracture energy and rate effects.…
