We have an open PhD position starting in the Fall semester 2019 at the Computational Laboratory for the Mechanics of Interfaces at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville (http://clmi.utk.edu). The research topic centers upon the modeling of texture evolution during processing conditions of titanium alloys using dislocation density based crystal plasticity. Efficient computational algorithms will be pursued to couple the specimen/part scale and the mesoscale.

Intro

Schlumberger has an opening in Sugar Land, Texas for a Modeling and Simulation Engineer. The Modeling and Simulation Engineer will be responsible for developing digital representations (or twins) of physical assets or processes to produce business outcomes. You will need to work seamlessly with a multidisciplinary team and present project progress to various internal and external clients.

Responsibilities

The candidate may work on any of the following:

I would like to call your attention to a postdoc opening at Sandia National Labs (Albuquerque, NM; www.sandia.gov)  in the area of structural metamaterials design, fabrication, and testing. We have an exciting new project to explore novel unit cell archetypes and innovative lattice materials.

The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),...

Hello iMechanica community!

I am happy to announce the upcoming release of a new journal from Cell Press in the general field of materials science. So new in fact, that the title of the journal is yet to be finalized!

I am seeking a Ph.D. student and/or postdoc associate for a number of projects related to high-strain-rate plasticity and phase-transition of porous media. 

Candidates with demonstrated experience in computational mechanics, poromechanics, and implementation of codes in C++ and python are strongly preferred. Basic understanding of tensor calculus and continuum mechanics is required for the Ph.D. position. Students with track-records of academic achievements are encouraged to apply. 

Ph.D. Positions

Two Ph.D. positions supported by graduate research assistantship are available in the mechanics, materials, and advanced manufacturing (M3) research lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). Interested areas are: (1) Mechanics of deformation and fracture in advanced materials such as high-performance battery materials; (2) Design and manufacturing of 3D flexible, stretchable architectures and electronics; and (3) Soft materials and systems.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking a PhD student to work on multiscale simulations of clay-polymer composite.

The student will conduct atomistic and mesoscale simulations to support multidisciplinary collaborations. Candidates with experiences in molecular simulations techniques such as molecular dynamics are strongly preferred, although self-motivated students with track-records of academic achievements are encouraged to apply regardless. 

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational techniques, various scientific issues surrounding phononic topological insulators.  The position is available for a 1-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of funding.  

Requirements for the position include:

1.  A strong background in computational solid mechanics, and in particular topology optimization techniques (i.e. level set-based)
