7 PhD and postdoc positions in mechanics of materials @ UGent
The research group Mechanics of Materials and Structures at Ghent University (UGent-MMS) has 7 vacancies for PhD and postdoc research in the field of mechanics of materials. The vacancies are linked to research on composite hydrogen tanks, mine counter-measure drones and snap fit joints in constructions. All positions have a duration of at least 3 years and are fully funded (projects already granted). All research will be conducted with leading companies in the field.
Ghent University is a top-100 university in Belgium, Europe.

Multiple PhD Positions in Computational Mechanics at Mines Paris
Multiple PhD positions at available at Mines Paris in the field of computational mechanics :
PhD Scholarship Opportunity (SCOPE/EPSRC, Oct 2026 start): AI-ready encoding of metamaterials for property-based search
We seek an outstanding PhD candidate to develop AI-ready representations of metamaterial geometries (geometrical material structures). The project will build an atlas of common metamaterial typologies and learn compact latent representations using variational autoencoders, enabling property-driven search, generative design, and optimisation for targeted physical performance.
