Young Postdoc Position on nanocoatings at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France
Please find attached a young postdoc announcement on the "Theoretical and experimental study of polymer nanocoatings for prefilled syringes". The position is addressed to recent PhD graduates (future PhD holders or candidates with less than a year from their PhD defense).
Active Materials Mini-Symposium, ECCM 6, Glasgow, June 11-15, 2018 (last call)
The next European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM - ECFD) will take place from
June 11th to 15th, 2018, in Glasgow, UK.
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in our mini symposium:
MS 58 “Experiments and modeling of smart active materials with electro- and magneto-mechanical coupling“ (more info here)
The deadline for abstract submission is January 31th, 2018.
ESMC 2018, MS on Homogenization Strategies for Multiphase and Active Materials (Call for abstract submission)
PhD scholarship in Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France
One Ph.D. position is now available starting October 2017 on harnessing instabilities in magnetorheological elastomers. The PhD will be pursued in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France. The potential student will work on the development of new experimental procedures and numerical models for the fabrication and testing of new magnetorheological elastomeric devices that operate in the postbifurcation regime by proper combination of mechanical and magnetic loadings.
Ph.D. Position on Magnetorheological Elastomers at Ecole Polytechnique, France
One Ph.D. position is now available starting October 2013 on magnetorheological elastomers in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique, France. The potential student will work on the development of new experimental procedures and high fidelity numerical models for the understanding and constitutive description of microstructured magnetorheological solids. Students with strong interest in new coupled problems and strong background in engineering, physics or/and mechanics are encouraged to apply.
