There is a PhD position available for UK/EU students at the School of MACE, University of Manchester.

This PhD opportunity in fluid dynamics/nanocomposite manufacturing at the University of Manchester. We are looking for a motivated student with a strong background in fundamental fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and computer programming.

Applications or inquiries may be sent to Dr. Masoud Jabbari, at M.Jabbari@Manchester.ac.uk

The ASME Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) Technical Committee for Experimental Mechanics is soliciting oral-only student presentations across four topic areas:

•    11-13: Quantitative Visualization in Fracture & Fatigue
•    11-15: Mechanical Characterization in Extreme Environments
•    11-17: Mechanics of Adhesion and Friction
•    11-18: In-Situ Techniques in Experimental Mechanics

2 PhD Research Assistant positions are immediately available.  The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, proteins, and composite materials.  Applicants with background or interest in related research are preferred.  

Temple University is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Philadelphia is the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours drive from New York City and 3 hours drive from Washington DC. 

I will be teaching undergraduate thermodynamics in the Fall 2019. I am writing a google doc for the lectures and problems.

I have a fully funded PhD position available in my research group. Please pass it around to your contacts and students.Details can be found below or one can directly get in touch with me for more details.https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/multiscale-computational-framework...

Highlights:

A recent study reviews achievements made in the determination of the size‐dependent mechanical properties of nanowires. Covering both measurement techniques and computational approaches, data reported in the literature are summarized for a variety of nanowires.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor K.T. Ramesh, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, as the recipient of the 2019 Warner T. Koiter Medal.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor John Bassani, Richard H. and S. L. Gabel Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, University of Pennsylvania, as the recipient of the 2019 Daniel C. Drucker Medal.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to announce and congratulate Professor J. N. Reddy, Oscar S. Wyatt Jr. Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, as the recipient of the 2019 Timoshenko Medal.

I have an opening for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University.  The project is a collaboration with experimentalists. and concerns problems in which fractures are driven by fluid flow through porous media.

The ideal candidate will have some background in finite element methods and mechanics, nonlinear coupled field problems, C++, and high-performance computing.  Experience with fracture mechanics is useful but not required.  

The fellowship can begin as soon as this September, 2019, with some flexibility on the start date.  

Multiple postgraduate student (PhD or Masters by Research) positions at Swinburne-Automotive Engineering Graduate Program (AEGP) funded by Australia’s Department of Industry Innovation and Science - Supervisors: Dr. Kwong Ming Tse & Prof. Guoxing Lu

Postdoc positions are available in the group of Prof. JG Zhu at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of solid mechanics and material science are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental mechanics, composite materials and structures, optical measurement etc.

In this work, we present concepts that allow controlled introduction of buckling and twisting deformations to the mechanically guided assembly of 3D mesostructures.

Applications are invited for multiple postdoctoral positions to work with J. Hanna in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno.  Those interested in Ph.D. and M.S. positions are also invited to make contact.
