job

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the postdoctoral associate position in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on parallel numerical methods. C-SWARM is a center of excellence established by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science.

One MSc/PhD position is available for January 2016 for Canadian students or for September 2016 for Internatioanl students in Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University in a collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering Department. The research direction is on Bioenergy and Biomass, specifically on numerical simulation and experimental testing of the thermal behavior and gasification.  

Required qualifications for the position are:

PhD Positions in the areas of computational mechanics and soft tissue biomechanics are available in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

Requirements:

a.       The candidates must have already earned (or should soon earn) an M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a closely related field.

Context :

EDF Research and Development and EDF Energy are currently developing their new centre: the EDF Energy R&D UK Centre. In addition, EDF R&D and the University of Manchester have created the Modelling and Simulation Centre in 2011. In the scope of the development of nuclear energy in the UK, EDF R&D and EDF Energy Generation wish to take advantage of this new centre in Manchester.

Applications are invited for three PhD positions within the Cognitive Performance Optimization Laboratory (COPOL) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick.

Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Computational Materials & Mechanics Laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla), http://web.mst.edu/~aslezaeemm/.

The project is about multi-phase field modeling of formation and evolution of intermetallics and oxides at high temperatures. 

Candidates should have a master's degree in materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, solid-state physics, or applied mathematics. A background in phase field modeling is desired.

Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering) and the University of California, San Diego, USA (Structural Engineering Department).  Three postdocs will be based at Cardiff and one at UC San Diego, and there will be frequent interactions and travels between.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of bioMEMS. The candidate will interact closely with personnel at the start-up company iNfinitesimal, LLC and collaborators at Northwestern’s Feinberg Medical School.  The position will involve research at the intersection of engineering and biology with an emphasis in device design, fabrication, and system integration toward the development of nano- and micro-technologies for biological applications.

Requirements:

The Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position on multi-scale biomechanics of soft tissues. The project goal is to understand aging and vision. To apply, send TWO representative publications and CV to Ian Sigal, PhD (ian@ocularbiomechanics.com). More details about the Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at www.OcularBiomechanics.org. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.

Job Description

Responsibilities: You will closely collaborate with Schlumberger design engineers in US, Europe, and Asia. You will be performing FEA studies in technically challenging areas such as non-linear solid mechanics, metal plasticity, viscoelastic materials, shock, vibration, heat transfer, composites, and fluid/structure interactions. You will also need to present FEA results to various internal or external clients.

We are seeking 2 highly motivated PhD candidates for a research project supported by Australian Research Council (ARC) with an Industry partner, OZ Minerals, based in South Australia.
