materials characterization

PhD positions are available:

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

• Solid mechanics and finite element modelling of materials
• Crystal plasticity modelling of polycrystals
• Materials characterization

The selected candidates are expected to start no later than January 2018.  

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.

Description

The selected individual will lead the development, initial application and deployment of new modeling capability in the area of thermoplastic packages. The initial focus is on developing best in class material models across a range of polymers. This material modeling capability will be leveraged globally for a broad range of packaging model applications (blow molding, parison / preform optimization, empty and full bottle interaction with packing lines, etc.)

Applications are invited for the position of "Post‐doctoral Research Fellow" as part of a multi-disciplinary collaborative project funded by Lockheed Martin. The project's Principal Investigators are:

Dr. Kumar Shanmugam, Mechanical Engineering

Dr. Matteo Chiesa, Materials Science & Engineering

Dr. Amal Al Ghaferi, Materials Science & Engineering

Below is the official description for a post-doc postion at the Ohio State University. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested.
