Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in hydro-fracturing (fracking) is
available immediately at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu
Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Masdar Institute is established in collaboration
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research project focuses on
using advanced computational fracture and damage mechanics for simulating
hydro-fracturing of rocks in hydrocarbon fields. The candidate is expected to
have a PhD in the field of geomechanics, or civil engineering with solid

Professor Chao Xu's research group has two open post-doc positions at Northwestern Polytechnical Universtiy, Xi'an, China.

The position will start from January 2017 for at least two year period of contract.

The applicant must have a PhD degree. The applicant in structural dynamics, contact mechanics, wear, computation mechanics, nonlinear vibration, structural health monitoring and smart material and structures is strongly encouraged to apply. Please note the applicant should not be regular staff at other institutions. Fresh graduates are welcomed. 

Two EBICS Post doctoral positions available on Emergent biological machines

PhD positions are available in experimental study and computational multiscale modelling of sustainable infrastructure materials (http://web.uri.edu/sustainable-materials/) at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI, United States. The students will be enrolled in the Department of Civil and environmental Engineering at the University of Rhode Island.

Everyone loves an elegant engineering solution. It is particularly true when the alternatives are terrifying. In the paper:
