Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Postdoc - Robust optimisation of bifurcation diagrams for flutter design

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 optimisation. The ANR FlexHALE appointment lasts 18 months in Inria Saclay’s PLATON team, with a start no later than January 2027 and approximate gross pay of €2,700 per month.

A PhD or equivalent; knowledge of uncertainty quantification, numerical analysis or nonlinear dynamics; numerical programming. The role may require authorization for access to a restricted research area.
