Our Mechanics of Materials Group at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, in association with Materials innovation institute M2i, has two openings for talented PhD students in the field of multiscale mechanics of materials. They are part of a project on multiscale hygro-mechanics of paper. The industrial background of the project is in inkjet-printing. One opening is on experimental characterisation and the other on multiscale computational modelling.
For exceptionally suited young doctors we may consider changing the positions into PostDoc positions.

More information can be found via the following links, via which candidates may also directly apply. Remaining questions may be directed to me (R.H.J.Peerlings@tue.nl).

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a full-time lecturer position. The individual selected for this position will be expected to contribute to the department’s educational mission through teaching, course development, and advising and mentoring students. They might also engage in mechanical engineering scholarship. Johns Hopkins is a private university well known for its commitment to academic excellence and research. The mechanical engineering department is among the top in the country in terms of research activities and educational programs. See our web page at http://www.me.jhu.edu for additional information.

I’m working on optical method for displacement measurement. and this is interesting to know more about application and development of these methods like ESPI , SHEAROGRAPHY anf HOLOGRAPHY . for example i face with a company that climb their product can give displacement and so strain field in many material and many geometry even in 3-D shapes!!

Composite Vehicle Research Center (CVRC) at MSU has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct research in non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of composite materials in an effort to develop self-diagnostic composite structures for air and ground vehicles.

Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics

The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics invites applications for TWO tenure-track faculty positions to support a Department initiative in Sustainable Engineering. Qualified individuals are sought with expertise in either:

(1) Computational mechanics - with an emphasis on large-scale computing applied to multi-scale, multi-phase modeling of materials (from nano- to macro-scale), and/or mechanics and materials challenges in energy and/or the environment.

(2) Experimental mechanics - with emphasis on mechanics and materials challenges in energy and/or the environment, composites and other complex multi-scale, multi-phase materials.

Ph.D and post-doctoral positions available immediately in Professor Zikry's rsearch group at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.

Currently, we have openings with researchers with backgrounds in computational solid mechanics, atomistic and molecular modeling, multiscale techniques, and fracture mechanics. We also have openings in experimental mechanics.

I can be contacted at zikry@ncsu.edu. Please forward latest cv.

Thanks
