Job:

Undertake research as a Postdoc within the project MuSIC - Modeling and SImulation of Cancer growth. This project is funded by an ERC Starting Grant.

The applicants are expected to hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Biomechanics, Computational Biology, Computational Biophysics, or a related field. The successful candidate will probably have several publications in international scientific journals. It is assumed that the applicants will have a good command of English language. 

Benefits:

The Helmholtz-Institute of Materials Research in Geesthacht, Germany, invites applications for a Scientific researcher m/f.
The position is initially limited for one year with the possibility of an additional three-year-extension (starting as soon as possible).

Please apply online. Do not contact me; I do not work in the company.

The Research and Computer Aided Engineering group at Carrollton Technology Center of Halliburton is looking for an expert FEA analyst at principal engineer level. This position requires

1) Extensive experience with nonlinear finite element analysis and fundamental understanding and knowledge of Solid Mechanics.

2) In depth knowledge of finite element method, extensive experience with commercial FEA software, such as ABAQUS is highly desired.

Dear Colleagues,



On behalf of the organizing committee, I cordially invite your participation in Symposium on Wrinkled and Crumpled Membranes, as part of the 13th Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics (PACAM XIII), to be held in Houston, Texas, May 22-24, 2013.

CSIRO division of Earth Science and Resource Engineering is seeking a Senior Research Scientist in hydraulic fracturing/geomechanics. The position is located in Melbourne, Australia and the successful candidate will play a leading role in a world class hydraulic fracturing laboratory facility and in a hydraulic fracturing research team that integrates modelling with experimentation at laboratory and field scales.

The common practice of ignoring the elastic strain gradient in measurements of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density is critically examined. It is concluded that the practice may result in substantial errors. Our analysis points to the importance of spatial variations of the elastic strain field in relation to its magnitude in inferring estimates of dislocation density from measurements.
