Several PhD positions are being opened in my group (Mechanics of Materials), with focus on

1. Martensitic transformations: Atomistic modelling and theory;
2. Dislocations in multi-component alloys;
3. Multi-scale modelling of fracture.

Positions are advertised on the University of Groningen website:

The Daedalus Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering) is recruiting PhD students with both experimental and computational backgrounds to start in Summer 2026 or Fall 2026.

Our group works at the intersection of fracture mechanics, materials science, and AI, with a focus on:

Dear iMechanicians,

It's great to see the site up and running again. Some of you might be interested in the following PhD and postdoc positions within my group (the Mechanics of Materials Lab) at the University of Oxford.

 - PhD in Computational Fracture Mechanics, funded by my ERC Starting Grant ResistHfracture: https://mechmat.web.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/mechmat/documents/media/ercphd2_advert.pdf

Funded PhD positions are available in the department of Structural Engineering and the Program in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in Prof. Semnani’s research group, with start dates of Spring 2026 and Fall 2026. The positions are in the areas of research listed in Prof. Semnani’s group website below:

A fully supported PhD position on Machine Learning for Scientific Computing is available in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University. The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr. George Moutsanidis and the desired start date is January 2026 or September 2026.

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with an interest in the high-pressure and high-strain-rate behavior of geomaterials (e.g., sandstones) and concrete. The successful candidate will be appointed as a Postdoctoral Fellows in the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) at Johns Hopkins University. A portion of the successful candidate’s work will be associated with the Materials Science in Extreme Environments University Research Alliance (MSEE URA).

The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of the Cullen College of Engineering at the University of Houston invites applications for the Panos Family Endowed Chair position at the rank of Full Professor. The Panos Family Chair Professorship has been established from a $4.5 million gift from the Thomas Michael Panos Family Estate and a $2 million matching from the University’s $100 million Challenge Aspire Fund.
