The project consists of developing new computational and modeling tools to address solid-multiphase fluid coupled problems using Isogeometric Analysis.

1-year contract. Renewable one more year

Annual gross allowance: From 25000 to 30000 Eur depending on the candidate's qualifications.

This position will support all activities in a SEM/microscopy lab including sample preparation, inspection, documentation, and elemental analysis by SEM-EDS as well as managing the operation of the lab. The candidate may be required to teach courses in related areas.

The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of publishing archival journal articles.

Soft dielectric elastomer is able to generate an

electromechanical response in terms of reversible shape

changing, which is a muscle-like behavior. The deformation

and electromechanical stability of dielectric elastomers,

classified by their deformation modes, uniaxial extension,

equal biaxial expansion and pure shear, are investigated.

Pull-in instability occurs in equal biaxial and uniaxial modes

at a small stretch ratio, while the pure shear mode features

wrinkling instability after a large stable deformation. The
