We are looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate in Multiscale Modelling of Composite Materials to join the Composite Design and Analysis (CDA) Group, led by Dr. Haibao Liu. You will be a key member of the CDA Group, contributing to our development and the success of our mission.

The core responsibility of this role is the development of multiscale computational models, with particular emphasis on bio-based composite materials, to simulate the processes of water absorption and damage propagation. You will contribute to the success of the research project through close collaboration with project partners and members of the CDA Group.

The role is funded for up to 24 months in the first instance, with an expected start date of October 2025.

This post is suited to a PhD graduate with a background in the mechanics of materials or a related discipline, and a strong track record in developing computational models. The successful candidate should also have a good publication record, and, where relevant, experience in writing research proposals.

Please submit your application via the Queen Mary Portal and upload a copy of your CV. Please do not upload copies of research papers.

This post is within the School of Engineering and Materials Science, a large School with 108 academics, more than 250 PhD students and over 2500 undergraduate students. It is one of five schools in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Queen Mary University of London. These are supported by an administrative and technical staff team of 45. The staff and student body are international in make-up.

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.

Throughout our history, we've fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it's simply 'the right thing to do' but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.

We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days' leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities.

Queen Mary's commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
