job

Our group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working on a range of problems, involving mechanics and physics of 2D materials, soft materials and biological systems. We employ methods of continuum mechanics, mathematics, statistical physics and atomistic simulations to explore the mechanics of 2D materials, electromechanical coupling in soft materials, as well as physical mechanisms underlying the interface of nanomaterials and biology.

Dear iMechanicians:

Oxford University is seeking to appoint a Professor of Materials Engineering (Chair) in the department of Engineering Science.

This post is likely to be of interest to high profile, established researchers in the field of mechanics of materials. The successful candidate will be expected to embrace the opportunity to shape the direction of Materials Engineering at Oxford and to pursue a research programme at the forefront of the subject, providing research leadership to colleagues working in this field.

We have a fully-funded position for a PhD student in the EMSI lab, in mechanical engineering at EPFL, and are seeking qualified applicants. The thesis topic is: Crack front stability in 3D. Information about our lab can be found on our website at: Engineering Mechanics of Soft Interfaces ‐ EPFL

What we seek: 

My colleague Jan Novák is searching for a postdoctoral researcher to work with him on leveraging the potential of Wang tilings in sharing microstructures of heterogeneous materials.

This position is fully funded for two years and is offered as a part of the 2023 CTU Global Fellowship program. Additional details on the offer and the application process are available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/118832, and the call closes on 31 August 2023.

Come and join us in Prague to become a 2023 CTU Global Postdoctoral Fellow!

Czech Technical University in Prague offers a fully-funded two-year postdoctoral position in Data-driven modeling of engineering materials. The project will be mentored by Anna Kučerová and will involve collaboration with Bořek Patzák within the MuPIF software project.

I have an opening in my group for a 2-year postdoc position offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join my ERC-funded project “ALPS - AI-based Learning for Physical Simulation”.

Job description

You will be contributing to developing novel algorithms at the intersection of computational physics and machine learning for the automatic identification of symbolic models of physical systems starting from experimental data.

Applicants are sought for PhD positions at Griffith University, Gold Coast (Australia).

If you are interested in a PhD in fibre-reinforced composite materials, please contact me (w.hall@griffith.edu.au) with the following information:

* Brief CV/Resume

* List of publications

* Academic transcript from your Mechanical Engineering Honours degree (or degree from a closely related field)

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher to fill a Postdoctoral Researcher position in Computational Solid Mechanics at the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering (FAMU-FSU COE) in Tallahassee, Florida. The researcher will work on projects funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed at developing novel computational techniques that leverage deep learning methods for solving problems in computational solid mechanics.

We are hiring PhD students !!

Daedalus, our new research group at Georgia Institute of Technology, has an opening for two PhD students with background in solid/experimental mechanics to work towards developing high throughput fracture testing methods as well as mechanics of green structures. Starting date: Spring 2024. Applications of both experimental and computational backgrounds will be evaluated.

We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on microscale mechanical characterization of fiber reinforced polymer composites using in-situ microscopic techniques. Much more fundamental insights and measurements at the micro-scale are necessary to enable fully predictive multi-scale modelling and faster adaptation of composites. Therefore, we have developed advanced micromechanical test methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites based on in-situ optical and electron microscopy during loading.
