The advert for the Ashby fellowship is now open, closing date is15th July 2021: https://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/29938/

The Fellowship has recently been established in honour of the pioneering research by Prof. M F Ashby CBE, FRS, FREng, and is for a period of 3 years.

The Ashby Postdoctoral Fellow will be given the opportunity to pursue independent research in the general area of mechanics and materials (interpreted broadly), as well as to contribute to ongoing research in the Mechanics and/or Materials groups. The position is primarily targeting candidates who are seeking an academic career in a leading, international research university and candidates are expected to show outstanding promise in experimental and/or theoretical research.

It is anticipated that the appointed Ashby Fellow will be affiliated with Pembroke College with the opportunity to engage in College life and to develop their teaching experience by joining the tutorials given to Engineering students in that College. The College affiliation will carry benefits that include dining rights and the opportunity to interact with College fellows across a very wide range of disciplines.
