One Ph.D. research position is available immediately at Iowa State University’s Mechanical Engineering Department in the area of soft tissue biomechanics. The candidates must have earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field. The selected candidates are expected to start no later than January 2019.

The Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) at RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in Troy, NY invites applications for the Chatter Career Development Chair, intended for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Energy Science and Engineering to begin August 15, 2019 or thereafter. Exceptionally qualified individuals in areas related to energy harvesting, conversion, transport and storage are encouraged to apply. Outstanding candidates in other synergistic areas will also be considered.

There is an opening for a tenure track senior faculty position in computational science and engineering (associate/ full preofessor) in the department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) at RPI. Please see https://rpijobs.rpi.edu/postings/6848

The Center for Modeling Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY , USA invites applications for postdoctoral associate positions to work on projects funded by the National Institutes of Health on developing simulation systems for surgery. The ideal candidate will develop the next generation real time surgical simulation technology based on advanced physics-based computational methods, robotic  systems and machine learning algorithms.

Requirements:

We present a linear theory of lipid membranes which accommodates the effects of intra-membrane viscosity into the model of deformations. Within the Monge parameterization, a linearized version of the shape equation describing membrane morphology is derived. Admissible boundary conditions are taken from the existing non-linear model but reformulated and adopted to the present framework. We obtain a complete analytical expression illustrating the deformations of lipid membrane subjected to the influences of intra-membrane viscosity.

The National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME) at Auburn University is announcing for two fully-funded PhD positions in the area of structural integrity of additive manufactured (AM) materials/parts. These students will work under direction of Dr. Shamsaei from Mechanical Engineering Department. These opportunities include;
1- One PhD student is expected to work on experimental and analytical mechanics, additive manufacturing, fatigue testing and modeling, failure analysis, microstructural characterization, and fracture mechanics.
2- The second PhD student will implement computational mechanics to investigate structural integrity of AM parts. The candidate for this position should have background on crystal plasticity and finite element analysis. This candidate is also expected to be familiar with a finite element software including writing subroutines.
For international applicants, you need to have your TOEFL and GRE scores ready to report by Oct. 15th. If interested, please send your resume and a cover letter, briefly explaining your relevant experience and publications to Dr Vaziri (mzv0045 [at] auburn.edu).
