Post-Doctoral Researcher Position in Computational Mechanics of Materials
Computational Mechanics Research Laboratory (CMRL)
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Maryland
You will be hired for a 24 months assignment starting as soon as possible by
Vesuvius Company (Belgium) on a FP7 Marie Curie-IAPP project, in cooperation with
a very active group in Solid Mechanics at University of Trento.
The candidate will implement the constitutive models developed for high- temperature behaviour
of materials in external routines for finite elements computations and tested to judge the
numerical stability and accuracy. The software will be subsequently employed in the design
Modeling and Simulation Engineer – FEA
Category: Full-time position in industry
Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Location: United States, Texas, Sugar Land
Opening Date: 07/06/2015
Job Description
The Mechanics at Extreme Temperatures Lab at Utah State University is looking for qualified research assistants at the PhD level for Fall 2015. Research will be focused on mechanical characterization of two materials for advanced aerospace applications:
1. Molybdenum-base superalloys for advanced propulsion systems, and
2. Ultra-high temperature ceramics for the leading edges of spacecraft and hypersonic aircraft.
If you are strongly motivated to work with a very active group in Solid Mechanics,
we have a PhD position (3 years) available from June 2015,
but the deadline for application is May 14, 2015!
The position is on a EU grant and is addressed to numerical/theoretical modelling of ceramics.
For details on the application see the attachment.
Brown University Professor of Engineering Huajian Gao has been selected to receive the 2015 Nadai Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for groundbreaking contributions to hierarchical nanotwinned metals, energy storage materials, metallic glasses, and diffusional creep of metal thin films.
I attended an ASME meeting during which the Managing Director of ASME Publishing reported on the ASME publications.
Please find two of his slides related to the ASME journals, in which he singled out JAM for its rapid publication. The first slide is the median review time (from submission to editor’s final decision) in 2014 for all 27 ASME journals, for which JAM is the fastest -- 2 months (in 2014). The second slide gives the median review time from 2010 to 2015 for JAM, and the newest data point is 1.2 months for 2015.
