The RADlab at King’s College London is seeking to recruit a PhD student for the Neural-driven, active, and reconfigurable mechanical metamaterials (NARMM) project. The project is mainly experimental and aims at developing the first generation of reconfigurable active mechanical metamaterials for wearable robotics, with potential for high impact publications and science advances. The Project is in collaboration with Harvard University, MIT, University of Luxemburg, Bristol University, and City University of New York and five industrial partners, with the possibility to spend some time in partner institutions/companies. The RADlab is a state-of-the-art facility in the centre of London (Strand Campus). The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative and vibrant team of 8 PhD students and 3 PostDocs working on related topics. Start date is October 2024. Please apply for Engineering Research (MPhil/PhD) and indicate your desired supervisor (Dr Antonio Elia Forte) and the project title in your application and all correspondence. In the funding section of the application, use funding type: Engineering Dept NMESFS Studentship and the reference code: 1867891. The selection process will involve a pre-selection on documents, followed by an invitation to an interview. If successful at the interview, an offer will be provided in due time. Funding is available for 3.5 years and covers tuition fees at the level set for UK students, approximately £6,936 p.a. and a tax-free stipend of approximately £21,237 p.a. with possible inflationary increases after the first year.
