The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) at The Ohio State University has an immediate opening for a one-year postdoctoral research associate position. The project is aimed at the application of the finite element method for simulating and optimizing the multiphysics laser ablation process in aircrafts. The optimization process involves characterizing the optimal laser parameters (e.g., peak power, fluence, intensity, etc.) to maximize the coating removal efficiency while minimizing damage to the substrate material.

The UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is offering Research Software Engineer (RSE) Fellowships for a period of up to five years. The RSE Fellowship describes exceptional individuals with combined expertise in programming and a solid knowledge of the research environment. The eligibility criteria and details of how to apply can be found on the EPSRC website.

I have an EPSRC CASE PhD Studentship on offer that is co-funded by Alstom PLC.

There are three aims: (i) to couple ParaFEM with OpenFOAM for massively parallel fluid-structure interaction; (ii) to release that code into the community and (iii) to use the new capability to study the performance of "whole" wind farms, insilico. 

I'd appreciate it if you could forward this opportunity to colleagues who may know of good potential candidates. Apologies that the eligibility requirements for this studentship restrict it to UK/EU candidates only. 

Silicon devices are ubiquitous in many micro- and nano-scale technological applications, most notably microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).  Despite their widespread usage, however, issues related to uncertain mechanical reliability remain a major factor inhibiting the further advancement of device commercialization.  In particular, reliability issues related to the fracture of MEMS components have become increasingly important given continued reductions in critical feature sizes coupled with recent escalations in both MEMS device actuation forces and harsh u

The Centre for Material Sciences (MINES ParisTech) opens a new master program (450h of courses + internship in the industry). The majority of courses are tought in French, so this program might interest french students finishing their master courses this summer (2015) or french-speaking foreign students holding a degree equivalent to the french master. We are looking for motivated candidates!
