The James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, is dedicated to supporting greater diversity in engineering.  To enable this mission, the Mary Gibb Dunlop Scholarships have recently been established to support exceptional female applicants (and those identifying as female) to undertake postgraduate research within the James Watt School of Engineering. Applications for full or part-time doctoral research within the school are welcomed.

We are looking for exceptional PhD candidates who have good publication track record and the passion for scientific discoveries in the realm of Materials Innovation & Additive Manufacturing. Our current efforts focus on multifunctional composites, architected & tailored materials, biomaterials, materials energy storage & distribution, materials for sensing & actuation and AI and ML for materials design & additive manufacturing. Potential candidates are advised to contact me directly (msv.kumar [at]

We are now seeking to fill an academic position at Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader rank for a successful academic to join the Division of Systems, Power and Energy Engineering. We specifically seek a candidate who can potentially contribute to the James Watt School of Engineering in the area of modelling of materials and/or processes at lower length scales where continuum assumption ceases to be valid.

The James Watt School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project entitled, ‘multifunctional cellular composites enabled by 3D printing’. The objective of the project is to design additive manufacturing-enabled microarchitected composites with unprecedented properties optimized for location-specific structural and functional requirements for a multitude of applications. Experience and/or a strong interest in one or more of the following areas are essential: Materials science, additive manufac
