Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Lab at Masdar Institute invites applications for Project-Postdoctoral Positions to work on a multi-disciplinary collaborative project funded by GASCO (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi.  Successful candidate(s) will work in the Institute Center for Energy (iEnergy) and will be based in Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) department at Masdar Institute.

Multiple PhD Positions in the areas of computational mechanics and biomechanics are available. All qualified applicants are encouraged to send their CV with a brief description of research interests, and copy of their representative publications to hatami@uic.edu).

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of computational and experimental analysis of biological materials. The primary objective of this project is to use numerical and experimental methods to investigate the mechanical response of (bio-)composite structures. We are interested in applicants with expertise in the area of mechanics of materials and previous experience with computer programming (e.g. FORTRAN/C++), FEM, and multiscale modelling.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION at Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington.

I am currently recruiting new PhD students to join my research group at The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester. The core focus of the group is advanced computing for engineering simulation. My research interests centre on extreme scale parallel computing, cloud computing and virtual reality simulation platforms, applied to scientific and engineering problems involving complex processes.

We look for a candidate with a strong background in Physics, Material Science/Mechanics, or Tissue Biomechanics. The candidate should hold a MSc or an equivalent degree in a strongly related field. Good spoken and written English is mandatory. The candidate must be a UK or EU resident. Any residency other than that cannot be accepted.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow. The position’s primary area of research will focus on origami engineering with emphasis on metamaterials, adaptive structures, optimization, and additive manufacturing. Expertise is particularly sought in rapid prototyping, multiphysics modeling, and nonlinear multiscale finite element analysis and design. The initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the availability of funds.

We are looking for a candidate from a European and preferentially non french university for this internship entitled "Ultimate limit optimization of the mooring system for an offshore floating wind turbine". Details are provided in the attached file.

To apply, please send a curriculum, a covering letter and a letter of recommendation to martin.guiton@ifpen.fr

We are seeking a post-doctoral fellow for the gradient damage modelling of brittle fracture in the National University of Singapore (see project description in attachment).

We have a new position for posdoc in Qatar University. The main topic is using natural fibers in composite materials for particular structural applications. The job requires a previous experience with experimental characterization of natural fiber composites. In addition, numeriacl simulations are desirable. The job is available only for 7 months due to budget issues. For application, please send your CV with detailed explanation of your experience and list of publication to Prof. Elsadig Mahdi.

Three fully funded PhD positions are available in Dr. Lei Zuo's group in the department of mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech starting from Fall, 2016. One opening is about design and control of wave energy converter, one is on vibration energy harvesting fro oil drilling system and another one is about energy harvesting from backpack while human walking or running.

Please contact Prof. Lei Zuo (leizuo@vt.edu) for further information. 

Multiple Ph.D. fellowships are available at Clemson University in the broad area of model validation and data analytics through a recent Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) grant. Through this grant, faculties from Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Earth Science, Mathematical Science, and Computer Science team up to work on the national need for model validation analytics in civil and environmental engineering problems.
