This PhD position focuses on the investigation of non-Newtonian Taylor-Couette instability through a combined approach of theory, experimentation, and numerical simulation. The project aims to understand how wall surface characteristics (smooth or rough) influence hydrodynamic instabilities in flows of non-Newtonian fluids such as wet foams. Candidates will conduct detailed experimental measurements and high-fidelity CFD simulations to characterize vortex structures, their impact on mass and heat transfer, and the interaction between fluid structures and boundaries. The work is situated within the Laboratory of Automatics, Mechanics, Industrial Computing and Human Sciences at the Polytechnic University Hauts-de-France, offering an interdisciplinary environment at the intersection of fluid mechanics and applied mathematics.

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) invites applications for a three‑year postdoctoral fellowship in Process Systems Engineering within the Department of Chemical Engineering. The position focuses on research in optimization, non‑smooth systems, artificial intelligence for process systems, and biosystems, combined with teaching and supervision duties at bachelor’s and master’s levels. Candidates must hold a PhD in process‑system technology, chemical process engineering, applied mathematics, or a closely related field, and demonstrate strong motivation for both research and teaching. The fellowship offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and a supportive international environment in Trondheim, Norway.

The Postdoctoral Researcher position at the University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) focuses on joint communications and radar sensing for 6G non-terrestrial networks. The role involves developing signal processing and machine learning algorithms for 3GPP-compliant 5G/6G NR NTN OFDM waveforms, designing self-interference cancellation techniques, and implementing solutions on SDR/FPGA testbeds. Candidates will conduct measurement campaigns, publish results, contribute to ESA projects, and co‑supervise PhD/MSc students.

This PhD position at the University of Luxembourg's SnT centre focuses on joint communications, sensing, and positioning/navigation/timing (PNT) for next-generation 6G satellite networks. Candidates will develop innovative algorithms for satellite environments, collaborate with the SIGCOM research group led by Prof. Chatzinotas, and publish in top journals/conferences. Requires an M.Sc. in Electrical/Telecommunications/Computer Engineering with strong signal processing skills, MATLAB proficiency, and English fluency. The role offers full funding and integration into Luxembourg's leading ICT research hub.

The Zhou Lab at UMass Chan Medical School seeks a postdoctoral associate to advance AI‑genomics research, focusing on deep‑learning models for non‑coding RNA and epigenomic analysis using multi‑modal sequencing data. The hybrid position offers a competitive salary, mentorship by Dr. Chan Zhou, and collaboration with leading biomedical institutions.

A postdoc position at Forschungszentrum Jülich seeks candidates to advance quantitative methods for international nuclear safeguards. Tasks include integrating AI/ML with existing methodologies, standardizing detection probability calculations, optimizing random verification schemes, and updating Bayesian methodologies. Requires a PhD in relevant fields with expertise in uncertainty quantification and interdisciplinary collaboration.

This PhD position focuses on developing methods for demonstrating the performance of aeronautical structure inspection solutions using machine learning algorithms. The research combines algorithmic analysis, data exploration, and performance modeling in the context of non-destructive testing for the aeronautical industry.

The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Munich invites applications for a PhD position in Cancer Biology and/or Bioinformatics within the Institute of Molecular Oncology and Functional Genomics. The project focuses on non‑coding RNA biology, genomic technology development, cell fate transitions in development and cancer, molecular mechanisms of cancer metastasis, and computational large‑scale data integration. Candidates will work in a multidisciplinary team of cancer biologists, molecular geneticists, bioinformaticians and clinicians, using CRISPR‑based screens and other cutting‑edge tools to study cancer mechanisms. The position offers a doctoral salary, social benefits, flexible working hours, and access to international research networks through the DKFZ International PhD Program.

This postdoctoral fellowship focuses on advancing experimental characterization of hydrodynamics and mixing in Taylor-Couette flows of complex fluids. The researcher will develop and apply cutting-edge optical diagnostic techniques, such as Laser Induced Fluorescence, to probe mixing dynamics and local flow properties. The project investigates flow instabilities, flow structures, and mixing efficiency in non-Newtonian fluids, aiming to improve understanding of transport phenomena in industrial and environmental processes. The position is based at IMT Nord Europe in Douai, France, with a start date of 1 October 2026 and an application deadline of 30 July 2026.

The Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Technology Governance. This one‑year renewable appointment focuses on mentored research in areas such as AI governance, big data, cybersecurity, data governance, knowledge commons, critical infrastructure protection, and smart cities. The fellow will work under the supervision of Professors Angie Raymond, Scott Shackelford, and Gustavo Torrens, contributing to interdisciplinary projects that address pressing societal challenges. Candidates must hold a terminal doctoral degree in a relevant discipline and are expected to begin in September 2026, with a best‑consideration deadline of June 30, 2026.
