Abstract
Two Ph.D. positions will be immediately available in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA,
US. Both positions will start in Fall, 2013. The research program will focus on
mechanics of soft composite materials and its novel application in healthcare,
lightweight nano-composites for energy absorption, and renewable energy
harvesting, etc. The research will involve a combination of experimental
measurements, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods. We are
looking for self-motivated and creative candidates (preferable graduate
There are multiple faculty positions effective immediately in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami. More information about the positions and the application instruction may be found here.

A 3-year PhD scholarship is available to work on simulation methods to treat colloidal
particles that are flowing near, or are transported within fluid interfaces (L.
Botto et al., Soft Matter, 2012, 8, 9957-9971); the focus is on fluid
mechanical aspects coupled with physical-chemistry. For details: webspace.qmul.ac.uk/lbotto
