Dear all,

A postdoctoral position will probably open on the modeling of AM process using crystal plasticity models.

Interested candidates should have experiences on developping and implementing crystal plasticity models in finite element codes. 

To apply to this offer, thanks for sending the required documents:

Our latest paper, “Mixed-Mode Traction–Separation Laws for Crystalline UHMWPE Interphases Derived from Molecular Dynamics" is now freely accessible for the next 50 days from this link: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1moVO4kE0iQ8Y

A new PhD position is available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Fall 2026 (Position #R04). 

Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background on both experimental and analytical works are encouraged to apply. In particular, experience on metal alloys, coatings, surface engineering and mechanics, contact fatigue, indentation/scratch, advanced microscopy, creep, and/or finite element analysis is a plus.

Master degree, publications, and previous experience in surface mechanics is also plus, but not required.

We would like to invite you to attend an upcoming presentation:

"AI-Empowered CAE: Real-Time Engineering Analysis for Rapid Prototyping and High-Fidelity Simulation"

The talk will be given by Prof. Wing Kam Liu from Northwestern University as part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Computational Mechanics Seminar series.

The seminar will be held March 26, 2026, 2-3PM EST.

We are looking for a PostDoc at Leuphana University Lüneburg in my research team, within the German Research Foundation (DFG) funded research project “Laser Shock Propagation Investigation with high-Resolution in Time and Space” . The research project focuses on wave propagation within textured materials, for which numerical methods of crystal plasticity will be used.

The application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to quasi-static loading is severely limited by the large separation between atomic vibration timescales and experimentally relevant deformation rates. In this work, we employ the Practical Time Averaging (PTA) framework to overcome this limitation and enable atomistic simulations of crystalline solids under quasi-static loading conditions. PTA exploits the intrinsic separation of time scales by defining slow variables as time-averaged observables of the fast atomistic dynamics and their evolution in the slow loading timescale, thereby avoiding explicit integration of the fast dynamics. Using this approach, we simulate uniaxial deformation, in both tension and compression, of (4 to 20) nanometer sized cubic specimens of face-centered cubic Aluminum nanocrystals and applied strain rates approaching quasi-static conditions (10^−4 s−1 − 10^−3 s−1).

The James T. Willerson Center for Cardiovascular Modeling and Simulation, Oden Institute, the University of Texas, has an immediate opening for highly motivated graduate research assistants to conduct novel studies on a novel family of gel-coated electrospun meshes for replacement heart valves.

I have an open position for a PhD student to start in the fall of 2026 to work on extending the Enriched Multiple Scales method (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11071-014-1508-9) to partial differential equations (PDEs).  Preference will go to students who already have an MS degree in either engineering, mathematics, or physics.
