One-year postdoctoral research on the fracture mechanics of bone is available at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. The project is a joint research between UBC Biomaterials (biomaterials.MTRL.ubc.ca) and the
Centre for Hip Health and Mobility (www.hiphealth.ca). The research is a combination of experimental studies (failure analysis,
mechanical testing, micro-CT imaging, laser scanning confocal microscopy
The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford University has recently obtained an iCASE studentship funded by EPSRC and Rolls-Royce plc to perform research into the mechanical behaviour of metals at high temperatures and high strain rates. The studentship provides full funding (fees and stipend) at the home / EU level for 3.5 years.
We are seeking a motivated PhD student (only a student currently in the US for an immediate start) to work as a Graduate Research Assistant in our NSF project titled "Metamaterial-Enhanced Electroelastoacoustic Energy Harvesting for Sensor Systems." This computational and experimental project will investigate electroelastoacoustically coupled linear and nonlinear metamaterial-inspired piezoelectric energy harvesting concepts for self-powered sensor systems.
The project deals with the development of a novel procedure for quantitative validation of finite element simulations with full-field optical strain measurements like digital image correlation. The work will be shared between numerical simulations and experimental work. This project has strong industrial relevence. Please note that the project can only be offered to EU/UK students.
A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Group at Northwestern University. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and meso-scale modeling of biomolecular materials and their interfaces with engineered polymers. Nanostructural predictions, self-assembly studies, and simulations of mechanofunctional behavior constitute the scope of the project.

I wrote this report a while back, and a limited printing was circulated by Wright Pattterson Air Force Base. I found a scanned version that I attach for your interest.
The International Research Training Group IRTG 1627/1 “Virtual Materials and Structures and their Validation” at the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany) invites applications for 2 PhD positions in virtual testing of materials and structures (Salary Scale TV-L E13).
The positions are funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and are available from October 2013 on. The funding period is 3 years.
