About this position

A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the Hangzhou International Institute at Beihang University. The successful candidate will work on cutting-edge research focused on the mechanical properties and damage mechanisms of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for high-temperature and structural applications.

Research Areas:

  • Experimental characterization of CMCs under quasi-static or dynamic loading
  • Fracture mechanics, fatigue, and creep behavior
  • Microstructure-property relationships
  • Multiscale modeling (e.g., finite element analysis, damage modeling) is a plus but not required

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or a closely related field
  • Strong background in composite materials, ceramics, or fracture mechanics
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical testing systems (e.g., universal test frames, DIC, acoustic emission, high-temperature furnaces)
  • Proven publication record in peer-reviewed journals
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English

We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Access to state-of-the-art laboratories and characterization facilities
  • Collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment
  • Opportunities for mentoring graduate students and proposal writing

How to Apply:

Postdoc: Machine learning for wind flow prediction in coastal dunes

Utrecht University

  • Utrecht, Netherlands
  • Engineering

Coastal dunes are dynamic landforms that provide flood protection and crucial habitat in the Netherlands and across the world. Coastal dunes are formed by sand transport, which strongly relies on the interaction between wind and dune shape. Recent improvements in airflow modelling and coastal dune modelling are promising. However, getting accurate wind field predictions remains challenging, especially in dunes with complex topography. Your job In this 2-year postdoc position, you will use numerical modelling and machine learning techniques to increase the accuracy of coastal dune models. As a

Postdoc in Large-scale Testing of Masonry Quay Wall

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

  • Delft, Netherlands
  • Engineering
  • Dr Rita Esposito

Join the TU Delft Structural Mechanics group to design a first-of-its-kind large-scale experimental campaign on historic masonry quay walls and help safeguard the future of Dutch canal cities. Job description Typical Dutch canal cities are currently facing challenges related to the maintenance and safety risk of historical inner city infrastructure. Among others, masonry quay walls represent a large portion of it, especially in major cities such as Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Den Bosch. To understand how to prioritise maintainance, there is a need to estimate the residual service life of these str

Experiment turbulence Post-Doctoral Researcher (M/F)

CNRS · Service de physique de l'état condensé

  • ST AUBIN, France
  • Engineering

It is known that turbulent flows, in nature or in the laboratory, are subject to random bifurcations, during which the flow spontaneously switches from one behavior to another over a random period of time. Von Kármán flows, where a large-scale bifurcation has already been observed, are a very good example. However, a precise understanding of the origin of these bifurcations still eludes us, thus preventing the predic
