About the role

I am looking to support potential high quality candidates for the coming MSCA-IF call to join my group. The postdoc will work in my group (at University of Nottingham, Faculty of Engineering, Centre for Structural Engineering and Informatics) on an interdisciplinary subject related to materials science or computational mechanics of masonry or concrete structures (new or old materials are possible).

A postdoctoral position in the field of Computational damage geomechanics is open at Université Côte d'Azur.

This project is the result of a collaboration between Geoazur at Université de Nice, the Centre for Material Forming (CEMEF) at Mines ParisTech and the Laboratoire Jean-Alexandre Dieudonné (LJAD) at Université de Nice.

Applications are invited for a 2.5-year postdoctoral position at Aarhus University, Denmark. The focus of the project will be on shape optimization of cutting edge for improving milling process of stainless steel. This research opportunity broadly involves the development of physics-based computational approaches and systematic simulations for understanding the micromechanics of material removal from metallic surfaces.  This project is part of a big Grand Solution industrial project, which is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark.

Electromaterials Laboratory@SYSU, is an integrated environment for high-performance conductive materials (with the strong desire to combine fundamental materials science and application-directed research in a single working environment),  located at Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in Guangzhou, China and forms part of the Materials Science and Engineering department. Our general research activities include

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work at the intersection of robotics and mechanics. The selected candidate will join the Structures-Computer Interaction Laboratory, a new group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of the University of California, Los Angeles. Visit our website: https://structures.computer. The research project aims to use collaborative robots to investigate the mechanics of structures (slender/flexible structures in particular). Our lab is equipped with a Sawyer collaborative robot from Rethink Robotics. We will explore how continuum mechanics simulations can be used to train robots to perform simple tasks, e.g. tying knots in ropes. Details of the project will be determined after consultation with the candidate.

A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and multi-scale modeling of biomolecular materials such as nanocellulose and their interfaces with polymers. A Ph.D. in a related field is required for this position. Expertise in atomistic and molecular modeling techniques (molecular dynamics, density functional theory, coarse-grained molecular simulations) is required. Additionally, a strong background in soft matter research (polymer science, biophysics, or related areas) is highly desired. Interested candidates should send a CV, a summary of research interests, contact information of three references, and three most relevant publications as a single pdf file to s-keten@northwestern.edu. Evaluations will begin immediately, and the start date is flexible.

The Kang Group is looking for outstanding candidates to join the group. We have openings as below.
Due to the large volume of applications received, we will contact only those selected for interviews. Thank you for your understanding.

Postdoctoral Fellow

A position for a post-doctoral researcher is available in the Microstructure Testing and Analysis Laboratory, School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. The individual appointed to the position will be responsible for research on failure of trabecular bone. A strong background in solid mechanics is desired, with knowledge of numerical simulation. Interest and willingness to participate in an interdisciplinary research team is essential. The position is available for a start Sept. 1, 2016.

The Newton International Fellowship scheme is for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK. 

Two postdoctoral fellow positions at Northeastern University are available immediately, focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of structures and soft matter using computational mechanics and the development and analysis of active cellular structures, and biomimetic materials.
