A postdoctoral position with primary focus on molecular dynamics simulations is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group  under the direction of Prof. Vivek B. Shenoy .  We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate to work on modeling of nanomaterials and soft materials. The ideal candidate will have a background in materials science/computational physics with expertise in molecular dynamics simulations with LAMMPS or other packages.  This individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in complimentary experimental investigations, both at Penn and our collaborators in industry. 

Dr. Mukul Sharma, Professor in Dept. of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking to fill two Postdoctoral Positions.

First position will perform research and oversee projects that involve high-pressure,
high-temperature core flooding experiments with hydrocarbon mixtures.
Familiarity with PVT fluid property measurements, analytical and
materials testing techniques will be a plus. For more information or to apply for the position please visit: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/hr/jobs/nlogon/120420020712

We are looking for a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the area of Computational Mechanics. The position is available within the Institute of Structural Mechanics, chair of Computational Mechanics at the Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany. The key research areas of the chair of Computational Mechanics are Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Isogeometric Analysis.

Qualification
The candidate must have a PhD and M.Sc. in one of these disciplines: Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Physics, Computational Materials Science or Structural Engineering. 

The Laboratory for Advanced Materials at Pittsburgh has openings for
one graduate student and one postdoctoral research fellow for 2011.
Interested applicants should send their materials to Professor Paul W.
Leu at pleu@pitt.edu.  http://www.pitt.edu/~pleu/Research/index.html

------Graduate Students Openings------

We are currently looking for ambitious graduate students to perform
experimental and theoretical studies related to nanostructures.

A post-doctoral position is available in the lab of Sachin Velankar at the University of Pittsburgh to conduct experimental research on buckling of soft tissues in cephalopods (octopus or cuttlefish).
