RECRUITMENT PERIOD

DESCRIPTION

Postdoctoral Associate

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 chemically reactive

solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security

Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science. The

The positions: I am looking to support two PhD students to work with me towards a mechanical understanding of morphing structures such as origami tessellations and lattice materials and metamaterials. By "understanding" I mean anything relevant to the theoretical and numerical modeling of these structures, in static and dynamic regimes, within the context of elasticity whether linearized or not as well as the fabrication and testing of toy models necessary to assess that "understanding".

A fully funded PhD thesis project is available at Polytechnique Montreal on Fluid-Structure Interactions in hydraulic turbines. 

This project is to be done in collaboration with Université Laval in Québec city where a fully instrumented test turbine is available. The thesis is part of a large research consortium involving two universities and the major industrial players in the design and operation of large hydraulic turbines in the province of Quebec (Andritz Hydro, EDF, General Electric, Hydro Québec, Voith Hydro).

Several postdoctoral and graduate student openings with primary focus on biomechanics is available immediately in the Shenoy Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on NIH supported projects on a) cell-matrix interactions in fibrosis and cancer and 2) mechanical mechanisms of traumatic brain injury.  

We are looking for a PhD student in the area of design optimization and composite structures. Applicants with background in the area of computational mechanics/ structural optimization/ composite structures will be preferred.

Please send your CV and representative publications to ali.tamijani [at] erau.edu (ali[dot]tamijani[at]erau[dot]edu)

Title Seeking a motivated Ph.D. student
Employer/Location: The Center of Natural Resources at New Jersey Institute of Technology, NJ, USA

The Center for Natural Resources led by Professor Michel Boufadel is seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students in the general area of fluid dynamics to conduct research related to the behavior of oil and water at various scales (microns to meters).  The work would be mostly numerical, but some experimental work would be needed. The research applies to the oil spills, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Dears,

we have two open postdoc positions on soft matter tribology at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the beautiful Lecce, Italy (Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, CBN, https://cbn.iit.it/). The activities will be performed in strict collaboration with the University of Salento, located in the same city, as well as with an international industrial partner. The positions are for 1 year, renewable up to three.

Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM) continues to be a very fast journal.  Among all papers submitted in 2017, the average time from submission to the final decision (i.e., reject or accept) is less than 16 days.  These include the time for review and the time for authors' revisions (if needed).

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to invite applications for a tenure-track position in the area of controls, with an anticipated starting date of August 1, 2019 or thereafter. The position will be at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor, although appointment to Full Professor may be considered for candidates with an excellent track record in scholarship and education, recognition from the research community, and the promise of continued distinction.
