Funded by the ERC-CoG COMBAT
(Computational Modeling and Design of Lithium-ion batteries), there are

5 open positions for PhD-students or Post-Docs

At the chair of Computational Mechanics (chair Prof. T. Rabczuk) at the Bauhaus University Weimar, there is 

1 open position for PhD-student or Post-Doc

for a maximum period of 3 years. The applicant is supposed to work in an international team and should suppose to collaborate with PhD-students and Post-Docs. In this project, effective coarse-graining methods for polymers and polymer-matrix composites should be devised and implemented in our in-house code.

Requirements

The postdoc position is mainly focused on
development of advanced computational models of microstructure evolution
in metallic materials, with particular focus on recrystallization and
related phenomena. Some experimental activities may also be part of the
work.

The employment is for one year with a possible extension to two years.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT, Madras seeks to fill Assistant and Associate Professor vacancies in specialisations related to  Structural Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Design and Flight Control.  For full details, please visit facapp.iitm.ac.in.  Application deadline: 21 March, 2014.

A post-doctoral position is available in the lab of Sachin Velankar at the University of Pittsburgh to examine buckling instabilities in soft polymeric materials. The project is experimental, and therefore some past experimental experience with polymers is desirable. However this project requires a thorough understanding of elastic instabilities, and therefore a comprehensive grasp of mechanics is absolutely essential  – indeed more important than past experimental expertise.
