Job Description 

Ass. Professor Structural Design of Concrete Structures - 3D Printing of Concrete

The Department of the Built Environment invites applications for a position as Assistant Professor in the Chair of Structural Design of Concrete Structures within the unit Structural Design. The assistant professorship is a tenure track position, related to 3D printing of concrete, that includes teaching, research, valorization and administrative duties.

The Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration (http://barthelat-lab.mcgill.ca) at McGill University has a new opening for a Post-doctoral researcher with a strong background in mechanics of materials, fracture mechanics and experimental mechanics.

Applications are invited for a Ph.D. position at the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Penn State University. This position at the Laboratory of Biomachinery and Nanomaterials will be developed in the frame of an interdisciplinary project with the objectives of i) studying electromechanical coupling processes at the nanoscale in biological and bio-inspired soft matter systems and ii) designing novel microstructure patterns for metamaterials with applications in active surface control and energy harvesting.

The Solids Mechanics Laboratory, in collaboration with the Thin Films and Interfaces Laboratory, from Ecole Polytechnique is seeking a talented candidate, with a strong background in nanophysics and nanocharacterization, for a postdoctoral position.

The objective of the proposed postdoctoral project is to understand the multiscale damage arising in nanodevices under various types of loadings, in view of proposing lifetime models of the devices.

More details can be found in the attached document.

Job Description & Specifications: 

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University is seeking for a potential candidate for research position as Research Associate.

The RA will work on a project to conduct the research on Underwater Energy Harvesting. 

The roles of this position include:

•Simulation of water particle movement and fluid-structure interaction using Computational Fluid Dynamics software

A Post Doc position is available immediately at the University of Central Florida, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department with the focus on metallic nanocomposites. The position is currently designated for two years with annual salary of $50,000+. Interested parties please email resumes and references to Prof Quanfang Chen at qchen@ucf.edu.  

Polymers are commonly foamed in the solid phase by the expansion of a dissolved gas such as CO2.  The foaming process is sensitive to the constitutive properties of the polymer, and the final porosity is dictated by bursting of the cell walls.  There is a need to model the solid foaming process for a range of polymers in order to determine the sensitivity of foaming to the properties of the polymer and to the process variables (such as thermal history and CO2 content). The foam expansion response is sensitive to the constitutive properties of the polymer.

One postdoctoral fellow position is available in the area of architected materials. Interested individuals should have a Ph.D. in related disciplines.  We are looking for a person with strong motivation, publication record, analytical and interpersonal skills and integrity with expertise in the area of mechanics of materials and structures, metamaterials, and finite element methods. A person with previous experiences in simulations and experiments on dynamic behaviors of soft materials and wave propagation in soft cellular structures is preferred.
