Do you have a background in nonlinear continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, soft tissue modelling or finite element analysis and a passion for advancing the understanding of brain injury? Then this could be a position for you. We are looking for an ambitious, collaborative and structured person to join our team to improve the brain material modelling!

We currently have a postdoctoral research position available in the Injury Biomechanics Laboratory at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA. This position involves the development of high-fidelity finite element head models and the design of computational studies to advance our understanding of blast and impact-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI). 

Start Date: Spring, Summer, or Fall 2026

The Kang Group for Bioinspired Extreme Materials is looking for outstanding candidates to join the group. We have openings as below. Due to the large volume of applications received, we will contact only those selected for interviews. Thank you for your understanding.

Postdoctoral Fellow

One postdoctoral fellow position is available in the area of bioinspired materials with focus on experimental aspects. 

Postdoc Open Position

A postdoc position is available in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University (SU). The research project, supported by NIH, aims to uncover the fundamental mechanics of preventing biofilm formation and fracturing biofilms with actively controlled surface topographies. The postdoc research associate will focus on the modeling and simulation aspects and closely collaborate with experimental groups at SU. The appointment will be 12 months, renewable based on performance and funding availability. 

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE at the UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA invites applications for a full-time position as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND APPLIED MECHANICS in the laboratory of Prof. Robert W. Carpick (http://carpick.seas.upenn.edu).
