Post-doctoral Positions at Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China
Postdoc positions are available at Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of computational mechanics, experimental mechanics and material science are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in advanced numerical methods, surrogate modeling/surrogate-based optimization, machine learning methods, uncertainty quantification, data-driven design and optimization，etc.
Job responsibilities (2-year recruitment)
Multiple PhD positions in computational mechanics and materials
Several Ph.D. positions are open for Spring/Fall 2020 in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of additively manufactured parts and processes. During this project, the candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with NASA research centers, national labs, and different universities across the nation.
Electro-mechanical behaviour or rough surfaces
Understanding electrical contact resistance
Electrical contact resistance at interfaces between pairs of rough surfaces is of great importance in the performance of diverse systems, particularly in miniaturised electromechanical systems containing switches.
In this study, the role of pressure and surface structure is explored with a view towards gaining a beter understanding of electrical contact resistance.
Postdoctoral and PhD positions at Texas A&M University
One postdoctoral and multiple PhD positions are available in the Computational Cardiovascular Bioengineering Lab (C2BL) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University. Please see the attached flyer for descriptions of some of the projects.
Interested candidates with a strong background in programming and computational modeling and sound knowledge of cardiovascular physiology are encouraged to apply. For PhD positions, please apply for the upcoming admission cycle as laid out here
(Reminder: Due 30th November, 2019) Call for Nominations for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
Open PhD positions for Fall 2020.
Two PhD students are being sought to fill openings in the Gross Materials Lab (group website: andrewjgross.com) at the University of South Carolina. Research activities are focused on the design, fabrication, and characterization of architected materials. Students must be capable coders to be considered. Students interested in or having prior experience with finite element modeling, mechanical property testing, and 3D printing are strongly encouraged to apply.
