A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately, focused on elucidating the fundamental material science concepts that control the formation, behavior and in particular mechanical failure and fracture of fibrous amyloid protein materials. Amyloids form pathogens in diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s), play a role in defining the properties of spider silk, and are found in many natural adhesives. These beta-sheet rich protein structures constitute an intriguing class of protein materials that self-assemble at room temperature to form characteristic hierarchical nanostructures and fibers, which combine exceptional strength and sturdiness, elasticity with bioactivity and the ability to self-heal. 

The Computational Solid Mechanics group under the direction of Prof. Marisol Koslowski in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue has an opening for a postdoctoral position in the area of multiscale modeling as part of the project “Plasticity in ultrafine grained materials” funded by DOE. A successful candidate is expected to have a strong background in computational solid mechanics and programming experience. While experience in plasticity using dislocation dynamics or phase field methods is a plus, all outstanding candidates will be considered.

I am writing to you to get your help in identifying candidates to apply for a guest researcher (or post-doc) working with me, starting this October or earlier, at the Polymers Division of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This immediate opening offers successful candidates a unique opportunity (two years and plus) to pursue research in the area of biomechanics.

A post-doc position on multiscale simulation of cell contact and adhesion shall be available this coming Fall at UC Berkeley. We are seeking for a person who has experience and background on finite element computations, especially in cell contact/adhesion modeling and simulation or finite deformation simulations.

Anyone who is interested in the position please send an email, resume, and reference to li@ce.berkeley.edu

PhD Position: Solid Mechanics/Biomechanics at KTH-Stockholm

A four to five-year PhD position focusing on the analysis of multi-scale phenomena in diseased blood vessels including atherosclerotic plaques has recently been opened at KTH Solid Mechanics. The position is fully supported by the Swedish Research Council.

A postdoctoral position is available starting June 1st within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. The project entails an investigation of the key features associated with ductile fracture in aluminum alloys.  The investigation will utilize a concurrent discrete-dislocation atomistic simulation framework and will likely

A one year (renewable) post-doc position is avalaible at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes, France.

The research deals with the simulation of complex cracking patterns in composites using

 the eXtended Finite Element method (X-FEM).

To apply : a CV + name of at least two references.

Immediate vacancies exist for high calibre postgraduates and postdoctoral fellows who have interests in wing morphing and aerospace design, finite element modelling, aerodynamics, optimization, testing and validation. Candidates should expect excellent facilities, good salaries and exceptional working conditions.

The Micromechanics of Materials group in Groningen (the Netherlands) has an opening for a PostDoc to study the adhesion of polymers by meands of Molecular Dynamics simulations. The two-year position is part of a collaborative, multiscale modeling project in which other groups in the Netherlands focus on more macroscopic models. More info on http://micromechanics.phys.rug.nl/index.php?s=Openings or by contacting E.van.der.Giessen@rug.nl.

A four-year PhD position has recently been opened in a collaborative project on Multiscale Metallic Interface Modelling (MuMiM). The student will work on the implementation of the transmission of dislocations across (high-angle) grain boundaries within our Discrete Dislocation Dynamics framework. Parameter values will be provided by atomistic simulations carried out by another partner, and the results will be used to guide the development of a strain-gradient crystal plasticity theory. More details can be found in the attached short description (under workpackage WP1).
