Postdoc Positions at Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China

Submitted by zhujg on

Postdoc positions are available at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of mechanical engineering and non-destructive evaluation are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental mechanics, composite materials and structures etc. Also, candidates with experience in machine learning are also welcome for inter-discipline research.

PhD Scholarship Opportunity (SCOPE/EPSRC, Oct 2026 start): AI-ready encoding of metamaterials for property-based search

Submitted by Szyniszewski Stefan on

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.
