PhD positions are available from Fall 2017, in Michigan Technological University, in Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Department. The candidates are to work in the computational modeling of multiphysics behavior of polymer materials, high rate fracture response of gel like tissue mimicking materials or Design of microarchitectured polymer composites for improved functionality. Interested candidates can email their CV with relevant information at -tsain[AT]mtu.edu

Candidates with background in continuum mechanics, finite elements and materials modeling are preferred.

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking highly qualified candidates for two postdoctoral associate positions in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on chemically reactive solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science.

Self-healing materials can repair damage caused by mechanical wear, thereby extending lifetime of devices. Here, a transparent, self-healing, highly stretchable ionic conductor is presented that autonomously heals after experiencing severe mechanical damage.

I am looking for two talented, self-motivated, and enthusiastic students with BSc degrees in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with a background in any of the following areas are recommended to apply:

• Materials characterization
• Solid mechanics and finite element modelling of materials

The selected candidate will be based at the Mechanical & Materials Engineering Department, Western University, London, ON, Canada. 

A PhD student position is available in wave propagation analyses and inverse problems in Department of Civil Engineering at The Catholic University of America, Washington, DC from Fall 2017.
