Abstract

Applicants are sought for PhD positions at Griffith University, Gold Coast (Australia).

If you are interested in a PhD in fibre-reinforced composite materials, please contact me with the following information:

* Brief CV/Resume

* List of publications

* Academic transcript from your Mechanical Engineering Honours degree (or degree from a closely related field).

Associate Professor Wayne Hall (email: w.hall [at] griffith.edu.au)

We have several Ph.D. positions available in our group (https://sites.usc.edu/zhaogroup/) in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at University of Southern California for Fall 2023. We are an interdesciplinary group with broad interests in flexible and stretchable sensors, experimental mechanics, advanced materials, and micro/nano manufacturing. Our focus areas include 3D soft electronics, brain-machine interfaces, unconventional micro/nano fabrication, and engineered surfaces/interfaces.

The Computations for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory (CAMML) in the College of Engineering and Physical Science at the University of Wyoming has an immediate opening for a PhD research assistant available, in the general area of modeling of damage and failure in heterogeneous material subjected to multiphysics environment, with a starting date of Spring 2023. 

We are seeking strongly motivated candidates to fill one Research Fellow position in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The successful candidate will work on experimental studies in the area of cell mechanics. We are particularly interested in candidates with research experience in tissue engineering, drug delivery, mechanobiology and applied mechanics. 

Required Qualifications:

The unified mechanics theory (UMT) was used to develop a model to predict the fatigue life of pre-corroded steel samples with BCC structure. Details of the experimental validation are also provided.
