#postdoc

We're excited to share the news that we have a Postdoc opening in our fleXLab (Flexible Structures Laboratory) at EPFL in Switzerland. This position is focused on the mechanics of slender structures. We appreciate the unique perspectives that individual research interests bring, so we'll work to align the specifics of the research project with the successful candidate's interests.

A potential PhD/PostDoc position on multiphysics modeling of biological systems will be open for Fall 2023/Spring 2024. Focus will be on rigorous analytical and numerical modeling, and the target application is injury modeling of the brain and related biological tissues. 

Looking for candidates with interest and background in mathematical modeling, numerical linear algebra, numerical methods (FEM or others) and solid mechanics. Interested candidates email resume to shiva dot rudraraju at wisc dot edu

A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting immediately in the area of modeling material behavior with emphasis on energetic materials. Candidates with expertise in multiscale techniques and experience with reactive models

are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire must be currently present in the United States. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science. The duration of the appointment is one year.

Postdoc & PhD Positions Open on Civil and Structural Engineering at Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, China

In the context of the pluri-disciplinar project MIMIMed@Lyon founded by the Carnot Institute, we are looking to hire a post-doctoral candidate for a one-year position, starting early 2023 at INSA-Lyon in France.

Tissue Mechanics Group at the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, UK), has a postdoctoral research associate position available for 26 months (Grade 7, Salary: £34,308 - £39,745, plus standard academic package of remuneration). The main research area will be computational tissue mechanics (with the option to lead experimental tissue characterisation, depending on experience and interests), with the application area in mechanics-based tumour detection for robot-assisted surgery. 

There are two openings for postdoctoral researchers in the research group of Prof. Tevis Jacobs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh. 

The purpose of the research effort is to understand the performance of advanced materials used in the semiconductor industry. Within this larger research effort, there are two sub-projects, each of which will be led by a different postdoctoral researcher. In both cases, the research will involve the following activities:

One postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Department of Mechanical and Design Engineering at Hongik University in Sejong, Republic of Korea. 

The postdoc candidate should have a strong background in computational mechanics of granular materials (especially, in particle-level high-speed contact/impact of solids), numerical methods (such as DEM and FEM), and computational code development with C/C++, Fortran and/or Python. 

The Shankar Research Group (www.shankarlab.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2022. The position’s primary area of research will focus on 3D printing with liquid crystal elastomers and cholesteric liquid crystal polymers. A background in synthesis of liquid crystalline polymers, photoalignment techniques and polymer characterization is required.

The Multiscale Computational Physics Lab in University at Buffalo (UB) has one Postdoctoral Research Associate opening, available immediately. The recruited Research Associate is expected to be a key player in developing an Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) model and a predictive framework/toolkit for customized ceramics matrix composite-type materials for hypersonic vehicles. The developed ICME model will also be used for additive manufacturing and involve an analysis on uncertainty quantification and a machine-learning algorithm for material design.

A short 5-month postdoc position is available in my Computational Biomechanics Research Group at the University of Glasgow. The project is aimed at combining image segmentation with biomechanical calculations and requires experience in scientific code development and nonlinear biomechanics.

Interested candidates can apply via https://my.corehr.com/pls/uogrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=076448 and the deadline is 14th February 2022.
