Senior Research Fellow in Computational Modelling of Smart Knitted Textiles

We seek a Senior Research Fellow (3–5 years postdoctoral experience) to join a multidisciplinary team working on computational modelling of knitted textile structures for energy harvesting applications. The postholder will develop and apply advanced modelling and data-driven methods to establish quantitative links between textile architecture and functional performance, working in close collaboration with experimental colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and validate computational models of knitted fabric structures, capturing the mechanical behaviour of complex knit architectures under various loading conditions.
• Establish quantitative relationships between textile structural parameters — such as stitch geometry, yarn properties, and knit pattern — and functional energy harvesting performance.
• Apply data-driven and machine learning techniques to accelerate model-based design and reduce reliance on physical prototyping.
• Validate model predictions against experimental data generated by collaborating groups and work closely with fabrication teams to inform design recommendations.
• Contribute to the broader research programme through independent scholarly initiative and collaboration with partner groups.
• Lead dissemination through high-impact journal publications and conference presentations.

Requirements

• PhD in mechanical engineering, materials science, computational mechanics, or a closely related discipline.
• 3–5 years of postdoctoral research experience with a strong publication record.
• Expertise in finite element modelling; experience with textile, fibre, or soft material mechanics is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with energy harvesting mechanisms (e.g., piezoelectric, triboelectric, or thermoelectric) is an advantage.
• Experience with machine learning or data-driven modelling methods is desirable.
• Ability to work independently and provide leadership to junior researchers and graduate students within an interdisciplinary team.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.

About the Position

This is a full-time, 2-year position embedded in a flagship initiative on wearable-embedded embodied AI for healthy ageing and rehabilitation. The postholder will join tripartite collaboration team spanning advanced fiber design, knitting design and advanced signal processing expertise.
