Postdoctoral position in topology optimization of pneumatically actuated sensing metamaterials at Czech Technical University in Prague

One month left to apply! With Ondřej Rokoš, we are looking for a postdoc to work with us on the computationally-driven design of pneumatically actuated microstructures with applications in active mechanical metamaterials (with sensing capabilities) and soft robotics. To achieve this goal, the project aims to develop new topology optimization techniques combining pressure actuation, internal contact, and multi-stability. Depending on the time available and the interests of the candidate, experimental validation will also be considered.

Full details on the position are available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/109774, and the call will close on 30 November 2023.  The position is offered for one year (with the possibility of a one-year extension) and is co-funded by the CTU Global Postdoctoral Fellowships, a program launched by the Czech Technical University in Prague to attract early-career researchers from abroad. 

Please share this opportunity with interested candidates.
