job opening

Our lab is currently developing the next generation of biomedical devices for treatment of major diseases. This includes technologies such as drug delivery systems, smart pills and stents, soft actuators, and ingestible electronics for sensing and monitoring. These disruptive technologies will impact the lives of many, helping treat chronic illnesses, minimize side effects, and improve patient compliance for long and cumbersome treatment regimens.

The Traverso Laboratory is seeking a PhD-level mechanical/biomedical engineer to join the team focused on the development of novel gastrointestinal devices for treatment of major diseases. This includes technologies such as drug delivery systems, smart pills and stents, soft actuators, and ingestible electronics. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience designing and analyzing mechanical systems and materials for biological application.

The position is to commence in August or September 1, 2014.

Requirements

 Intel has a potential opening for an entry-level Engineering position in the area of Thermal Mechanics.  If you would like more information on this position please contact me at li.han@intel.com with current resume. 

The Department of
Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening
for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2012. The position’s primary
area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and
characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at small length-scales. The
initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the
availability of funds. A strong background in solid mechanics with an expertise

Send CV to Fred Grant at ffgrant@sgh.com to initiate application process. Please also send any other relevant information such as letters of recommendation, coursework list with grades, thesis paper, etc.

We are accepting applications for two separate positions, Staff I and Staff II.  Descriptions are provided in the attached documents.

We are looking for an intern to join us this summer at IBM TJ Watson Research Center. You can find the job description at the link below. Please send your resume to apply for it there. More specifically, a background in molecular dynamics is required, and an experience of running open source MD code on supercomputer is preferred. The job will be filled quickly, and you are advised to apply as soon as possible.

Several PhD research positions are currently open in the Computational Nanomechanics Group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects:

1.  Thermomechanical behavior of carbon-based nanomaterials

2.  Atomistic-to-continuum themomechanical theory in solids

3.  Mechanics of nanoporous and nanocrystalline metals

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), is commencing a basic research program to establish Virtual Tests for high temperature ceramic composite materials. This activity will be supported within the new National Hypersonic Science Center, Structures and Materials, which is funded by NASA and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.The overall program involves a number of institutions, led by Teledyne Scientific Co., in Thousand Oaks, California (Drs. David Marshall and Brian Cox).

I have an opening for a post-doctoral position starting early next year (Jan 2009) in the broad area of multi-scale mechanics of nano-crystalline (nc) materials. The focus will be on microstructure mediated failure processes in nc materials primarily using continuum mechanics based approaches, but informed by materials science.

If you are interested, please send me (shailendra[at]nus[dot]edu[dot]sg) your CV and the names of at least two references.

Thanks,
