Below is a listing of the active Postdoctoral job opportunities in the College of Engineering.

University of Notre Dame’s Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in Engineering Program

The Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in Engineering is a competitive fellowship program established to support highly motivated and accomplished individuals who are committed to Notre Dame’s mission—to be a powerful force for good and to advance research solutions for the challenges facing society and our world.

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Harnessing Real-time Weather Data for Bridge Inspection

Opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Dr. Ashley Thrall in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. The successful candidate will perform cutting-edge research investigating near real-time weather data to improve guidance for bridge inspections following rainfall events. Recent rainfall events in Indiana have washed out bridges, resulting in broken transportation networks and loss of life. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides near real-time weather information that integrates data from radar, rain gauges, satellites, numerical predictions, and other observations (i.e., lightning, surface, upper air). This research will investigate the use of this publicly available data to trigger bridge inspections, with the aim of improving public safety.

Applications will be reviewed immediately until the position is filled. Interested candidates should email a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Ashley Thrall (athrall@nd.edu).

Postdoctoral Research Position in Foundation Models and Applications Lab (FMAL)

The Foundation Models and Applications Lab (FMAL) at the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society seeks highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates to fill a post-doctoral research fellow position in the area of Foundation Models and their applications.

The candidate will work with Meng Jiang and Xiangliang Zhang, Directors of FMAL, as well as other faculty and staff at the Institute and industry partners.

Postdoctoral Research Position in Health Data Exploration & Analytics Lab (HEAL)

The Health Data Exploration & Analytics Lab (HEAL) at the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society seeks highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates to fill a post-doctoral research fellow or a research faculty position at the intersection of data science, AI, and health.

The candidate with work with Fang Liu, Director of HEAL, and Notre Dame Collegiate Professor in the Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics at Notre Dame, as well as other faculty and staff at the Institute and industry partners. 

​Postdoctoral Fellow in Internet of Sensors

The Myung Lab is seeking a few postdoctoral fellows to contribute to multiple extramurally funded work on intelligent sensor system for smart agriculture, precision health, and environmental monitoring. Candidates should have a PhD from related engineering disciplines, chemistry, materials science, or other quantitative disciplines. These projects involve nanoengineered materials synthesis and characterization, sensor fabrication and testing, electronics prototyping, mobile app development for smart devices, data analysis and programming (e.g., MATLAB). Experience with at least one of these topics/techniques is required; experience with several of these topics/techniques is preferred. Good communication and interpersonal skills and successful experience contributing to translational and/or transdisciplinary teams as a “team player” are highly desirable. Please feel free to visit our website and e-mail your CV and cover letter to Prof. Nosang V. Myung (nmyung@nd.edu).

Postdoctoral Fellow in Diabetes Drug Delivery

The lab of Prof. Matthew Webber at the University of Notre Dame (USA) is looking to fill multiple postdoctoral positions working at the intersection of chemistry, drug delivery, and soft materials. New materials for better treatment of diabetes is a topic of several multi-year funded research efforts in need of talented postdoctoral fellows.
