Postdoctoral fellowship in the area of crystal plasticity finite element modeling

Submitted by HamidAbdolvand on Tue, 07/07/2026 - 13:56

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the area of crystal plasticity finite element modeling of polycrystals. This is a full-time position at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and the selected applicant may begin immediately. In addition, this position is extendable for another two years, depending on the availability of funds and the applicant’s performance.

Multi-objective topology optimization of heat pipe cooled reactor core subjected to thermo-mechanical loadings

Submitted by Jinxiong Zhou on Sun, 07/05/2026 - 02:46

The Heat Pipe Cooled Reactor (HPR) is a critical component for mobile energy supply in extreme environments, such as deep space exploration, deep-sea submersion, and remote engineering operations, where lightweight design is a key performance indicator. Existing studies primarily focus on the layout and sizing of the heat pipes, while the matrix, which serves as both the primary heat transfer medium and the load-bearing structure, constitutes a significant portion of the mass but has not been adequately explored.

A multiscale modeling framework for predicting the viscoelastic–plastic behavior of thin-walled composite deployable structures

Modeling viscoelasticity-viscoplasticity of high-strain composites for space deployable structures

Submitted by Jinxiong Zhou on Sun, 07/05/2026 - 02:40

Space deployable structures made of thin-ply fiber-reinforced composite laminates exhibit significant time-dependent mechanical behaviors, including stress relaxation, shape recovery, and permanent residual deformation throughout their service period. Currently, there is a lack of an appropriate composite laminate model that is able to fully describe these phenomena.

finite elements

I wrote a Windows tool for postprocessing finite-element results: figures, animations, and reproducible scenes from EnSight Gold, VTK, ParaView, and STL files.

Everything it draws is vector-based — contours, Gouraud shading, PDF export included. No bitmaps on sight.

Multi-step transient analyses, tensor fields, and symmetry replication are supported.

Denmark

The Department of Food Science, Aarhus University, invites applications for a two-year postdoc position in plant physiology and molecular biology of EV-based plant-microbe communication. The position is part of the EU-funded EVOLVE project and focuses on controlled-environment biological testing of extracellular vesicles as a non-GMO platform for steering plant performance and plant-microbe interactions.
