Our research Topic on Fingerpad Contact Mechanics is still open! Please follow the link below for abstract submission!

The chair of lightweight design (Prof. Weissgraeber) at the University of Rostock, Germany, offers a fully-finded PhD-position for 3 years (extension possible). 

 We are seeking for an excellent candidate interested in research on a Ph.D. project in the field of applied structural mechanics. The research project will be on of shape-adaptive lightweight structures and developing new analytical approaches for multistable composite structures.

 Recruitment requirements

We have a new opening for a Post-Doctoral Researcher starting immediately in the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Our lab is currently developing the next generation of biomedical devices for treatment of major diseases. This includes technologies such as drug delivery systems, smart pills and stents, soft actuators, and ingestible electronics for sensing and monitoring. These disruptive technologies will impact the lives of many, helping treat chronic illnesses, minimize side effects, and improve patient compliance for long and cumbersome treatment regimens.

Job Purpose: To make a leading research contribution to an industry-sponsored project on state-of-the-art finite element techniques to simulate needle penetration into skin working with the PI, A/Prof. Georges Limbert. You will join the national Centre for Advanced Tribology at Southampton (nCATS). In addition, you will work closely with the sponsor and contribute to the planning, writing and submission of reports and research publications.

Full Time Fixed Term for 18 months

Colleagues,

The Solid Mechanics--Damage and Failure team at Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated and productive postdoc candidate in the area of shock compaction, with a focus on simulating the microstructure evolution of granular materials using explicit representation of microstructures.
