Job Description:

We have 1 PhD position funded by NSF in 2024 Spring at SUNY Binghamton, New York. 

The research will be on multiphysics modeling & simulation for soft functional composites in flexible electronics. The major task will be performing multiphysics/multiscale finite element simulation (ABAQUS), nonlinear constitutive modeling, micromechanics modeling, etc.  For more info about the lab, please refer to http://puzhang.weebly.com/ .

We have 1 PhD position in 2023 Spring/Fall at SUNY Binghamton, New York.  

The research will be on computational modeling of soft functional composites for electronics applications. You will mainly perform multiphysics finite element simulation (ABAQUS) and nonlinear constitutive modeling.   

Please send your CV+transcript to Prof. Pu Zhang (pzhang@binghamton.edu) if you have interest. 

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University, the State University of New York, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level beginning in Fall 2023.

The department is particularly interested in candidates whose research intersects with the fields of Solid Mechanics and Materials, including but not limited to Soft/Bio Materials, Meta/Electronics Materials, Materials under Extreme Environments, Mechanical Design, and Advanced Manufacturing.

We have 1-2 PhD positions funded by NSF in 2022 Fall at SUNY Binghamton, New York. 

The research will be on: (1) Multiphysics modeling & simulation for soft composites in flexible electronics, and/or (2) Design/fabrication of novel architected composites.  Students with a solid mechanics or relevant background are desired.  You will perform multiphysics finite element simulation (ABAQUS), nonlinear constitutive modeling, and soft composites fabrication/testing (CT imaging, etc.).   

Job Description:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the State University of New York at Binghamton invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in solid mechanics at the assistant professor level beginning Fall 2020.  Candidates must have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field. 

We have two PhD positions starting in 8/2019 to work on Mechanics and Manufacturing of Programmable Materials. This project intends to develop new methodology to design and fabricate materials/structures that exhibit programmable morphology and/or properties under external stimuli. 

Position 1:  The student is expected to conduct experimental research on programmable materials such as material preparation, 3D/4D printing, hybrid manufacturing, material and structure testing, etc.;

A funded PhD position is available immediately to work on mechanics modeling for 3D printed biomaterials. The PhD student is expected to conduct continuum modeling and finite element simulation (Abaqus) informed from meso-/micro-scale simulation results and experimental data.

The point group symmetry of materials is closely related to their physical properties and quite important for material modelling. However, superlattice materials have more complex symmetry conditions than crystals due to their multilevel structural feature. Thus, a theoretical framework is proposed to characterize and determine the point group symmetry of non-magnetic superlattice materials systematically. A variety of examples are presented to show the symmetry features of superlattice materials in different dimensions and scales.

                A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the computational mechanics group of Professor Albert To at University of Pittsburgh.  The position is in the modeling of additive manufactured (3D printed) metals and lattice structures and is for one year with possible extension to two years upon satisfactory performance.  The applicant is required to have a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field at the time of appointment.  The applicant must also have strong computer skills and be experienced in materials modeling using A
