[交流] PhD and Visiting PhD positions at McGill University

PhD and Visiting PhD positions at McGill University for Fall 2026


“Mechanics of Reconfigurable and Architected Metamaterials & Metastructures”

Two PhD andtwo Vising PhD positions are available for Fall 2026 in the leading AM3L laboratory in the Bioresource Engineering Department at McGill University through the CSC scholarship application. The research is on the field of Mechanics of 3D Printed Deployable and Architected Multifunctional Cellular and Smart Metamaterials for applications in soft robotics, energy, and lightweight structures. Theoretical, computational (physics-informed and datadriven), and experimental mechanics studies along with 3D/4D printing will be conducted for design and analysis, multiscale modelling, and fabrication of lightweight and shape-changing multifunctional metamaterials and metastructures. The candidates will work under the supervision of Prof. Hamid Akbarzadeh, a Canada Research Chair in Programmable Multifunctioonal Metamaterials and the Director of AM3L lab at McGill University.

Required qualifications for the position are:

(1) Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Mechanical engineering, Applied Mechanics, Civil Engineering (Structure), Aerospace Engineering (Structure), Material Engineering (Computational or Additive manufacturing) or related fields.

(2) Strong background in Metamaterials, Multiphysics and multiscale modelling, Architected materials, Lightweight composites, Smart materials, and 3D/4D printing. Previous experience in finite element simulation is a must.

(3) Prior Experience in Mechanical metamaterial and origami/kirigami design, Reconfigurable materials, Buckling analysis, Homogenization techniques, Nonlinear instability analysis, Active materials, 3D/4D printing, Material functionalization, Nonlinear finite element simulation, and Machine learning are highly desirable

(4)Proficiency in using commercial finite element packages such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, or COMSOL.

(5) Excellent programing skills using MATLAB and/or Python/C.

(6) Good publication records.

(7) Proficiency in English and high undergraduate and graduate GPA (preferably GPA>3.5 out of 4.0) for admission at McGill University

Interested candidates should send their Cover letter (emphasizing on their previous research experience related to the Mechanics of 3D printed or Reconfigurable Architected Cellular and Smart Metamaterials), CV, and two representative publications (if available) to Prof. Hamid Akbarzadeh (hamid.akbarzadeh@mcgill.ca) by January 15, 2026. Selected potential applicants for PhD positions are required to officially apply to McGill University by January 15, 2026.

同学从这个组里面毕业的,说这个组很坑,建议大家不要去。主要原因如下:1.这个老师啥都不懂,没做过实验也不会模拟,实验室现在做的方向也不是他以前博士做的方向,博士课题全靠学生自己想,老师给不了啥有效指导,还要经常给老师科普知识。2.老师很抠,不舍得花钱,主要体现在两方面:一个是组里面全是csc中国博士,没一个是全奖,而且组里面几乎绝大部分都是中国学生(其他国家学生没人愿意去他组),这个老师纯靠中国学生和csc资金发展的课题组;第二个方面是组里面实验条件很差,老师啥都舍不得买,就几台很常见的3d打印机和一个力学拉伸测试机,没其他设备,实验室条件很简陋,学生坐的办公位置也很紧张;3.学生几乎全部延期毕业,博士5年及其以上。4.学生没有机会去其他国家比如美国和欧洲参加会议(高度怀疑是老师不愿意花钱),都是在加拿大本地参加一些会议。5.组里面没有网站,根本不知道多少人做的啥课题,而且没啥国际合作,离美国这么近,竟然不跟美国好大学合作,对学生以后职业发展很不利。
