Wallenberg- NTU Postdoctoral Fellow Full-time

Wallenberg-NTU Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Wallenberg-NTU Postdoctoral Fellowship is to bring outstanding young researchers, who have graduated from a Swedish university, to NTU for two years of postdoctoral research and studies. The Postdoctoral Fellows are given the opportunity to participate in a broad range of interdisciplinary activities and programs that characterize NTU's approach to research and education.

Key Responsibilities:

The fellow in this research project is required to:

• Develop and implement decoupled AI-based surrogate models for reliability-based topology optimization
• Develop geometry-generalizing machine learning models
• Implement explainability-driven active learning strategies for RBTO problems
• Perform finite element simulations to be used within AI-based surrogate frameworks
• Validate developed methods using benchmark engineering case study problems
• Prepare technical reports, research publications, and documentation of developed methods
• Present research findings at internal meetings, conferences, and workshops
• Collaborate and assist with the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students on projects

Job Requirements:

• A PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computational Engineering, or a related field
• Strong background in reliability engineering, uncertainty quantification, and optimization methods
• Experience with surrogate modeling, machine learning, or AI in engineering applications
• Proficiency in programming (Python, MATLAB, or C++)
• Experience with numerical simulation methods (e.g., finite element analysis)
• Familiarity with active learning and explainable AI techniques
• Strong mathematical skills in probability and statistics
• Ability to design and validate computational models for complex engineering systems
• Excellent academic writing and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in interdisciplinary research environments

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
