Abstract:
The Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in the general area of dynamical systems with applications to mechanics. Appointment will be at the rank of assistant, associate or full professor. Exceptionally qualified candidates may also be eligible for a named professor appointment.
A PhD position is available under the supervision of Prof. Chierichetti in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Two postdoctoral positions are
available in the area of applied mechanics/mechanical design at the National
University of Singapore, Singapore. Experiment
experience is a plus. One may focus on energy harvesting using soft active
materials, while the other may focus on soft robots.
A postdoctoral research position is
available at the Earth Sciences Institute, at the Hebrew University,
Jerusalem, Israel, focusing on understanding basic processes of
submarine landslide triggering, with applications to the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea, offshore Israel. The work will involve numerical
and/or physical modeling, analyzing the mechanisms of submarine
slope-failure. Applicants should send their CV and intention letter
including names of 3 referees, directly to the PIs: Prof. Einat Aharonov
