Postdoctoral Opportunity | Autonomous Sensing Metamaterials

Postdoctoral Opportunity | Autonomous Sensing Metamaterials | University of Glasgow The Sustainable Multifunctional Materials & Additive Manufacturing (SM²AM) Laboratory (https://smmamglasgow.com/) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at the University of Glasgow, starting 1 May 2026, on a Henry Royce Institute–funded project. This project focuses on autonomous sensing architected metamaterials, integrating: · Additive Manufacturing · Nano- and micro-engineered composites · Experimental evaluation · Multiscale, multiphysics, and data-driven modelling The goal is to develop 3D-printed self-sensing lightweight composites capable of real-time structural health monitoring without external sensors. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with Hexcel (industry partner) and the University of Cambridge. Essential expertise: Multiscale / Multiphysics modelling or Data-driven modelling of composites Desirable skills: Additive Manufacturing; Experimental Mechanics Duration: ~5 months (extendable subject to funding and performance) Location: University of Glasgow (candidates already in the UK preferred) Related recent work: https://lnkd.in/dTThsbzb; https://lnkd.in/dEbDxRV6 To apply: Please email msv.kumar@glasgow.ac.uk with your CV and a brief motivation letter, including “AutoMat” in the subject line
