11 PhD positions in the excellence & sustainability programme of the section Mechanics of Materials

Eindhoven University of Technology launched a PhD excellence programme for sustainable materials in 2026 in order to recruit 11 outstanding PhD students. The MoM section is recognized worldwide for its high-level research on experimental analysis, theoretical understanding and predictive modelling of complex thermo-mechanical behaviour (e.g., plasticity, damage, fracture) in engineering materials at different length scales, which emerges from the physics and mechanics of the underlying multi-phase microstructure. An integrated numerical-experimental approach is generally adopted for this goal. A state-of-the-art computing infrastructure is in place for the numerical work in this project.
