The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at Penn has an open search for tenure-track/tenured faculty.  We are particularly interested in candidates whose work is at the intersection of mechanical engineering and computational science. Additional details in the attached PDF file. Apply at: https://apply.interfolio.com/71186

Note: This ad was posted on multiple sites this past Fall but didn't appear on iMechanica.  As such, the deadline is quickly approaching and is January 7.

The Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Lab (AMEL) directed by Prof. Yanliang Zhang at the University of Notre Dame (A top 15 University in US) have multiple fully-funded graduate student opening positions with full tuition coverage plus a competitive stipend. The AMEL is working on cutting-edge research topics including additive manufacturing and scalable nanomanufacturing of functional devices and autonomous systems, thermoelectric energy conversion, flexible electronics and human-machine interface. Interested applicants should send resume to Prof.

ThermoElastic Instabilities (TEI) occur in sliding bodies at sufficiently high speed because a small thermoelastic disturbance tends to localize the contact, leading to “hot spots”. The role that wear plays in TEI has been studied briefly and only on highly idealized cases. We extend and complete in detail a model of Dow and Burton who studied the specific configuration of a blade sliding on a rigid halfspace normal to its line of contact. We find there is a limit value of wear coefficient, that can be estimated by simple equations, above which TEI is completely eliminated.

Applications are invited for two Research Assistant (PhD candidates) or Research Associates (post-docs) positions at the University of Oviedo, in close collaboration with Imperial College London. Research Assistants will be appointed for 2 years while Research Associates will be appointed initially for one year, with the possibility of extending one more year. Conditional upon satisfactory progress, the researchers will have the opportunity to divide their time between the University of Oviedo and Imperial College upon their convenience.
