The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt seeks candidates at the earliest possible date for a Full University Professorship (W3) for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics. We are looking for a scientist with an international reputation and visibility who will represent the field of numerical methods in fluid mechanics in research and teaching.

I would like to share our recent paper "Delayed detached eddy simulation-based aerothermoelastic analysis of deployable control fin in supersonic and hypersonic flows" published in Physics of Fluids. In this paper we study the stability and mechanics of a deployable control fin in supersonic and hypersonic flows accounting for fluid-structure interactions and joint freeplay nonlinearity. 

Postdoc positions are available in Dr Min Luo’s group (https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/minluo) at the Ocean College of Zhejiang University, China (ranked #45 in QS Global World Rankings 2022).

 A great opportunity for a final year Ph.D. student or postdoctoral scientist interested in the development of innovative biomedical technologies:

1 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) PhD position offered in biomechanics within the framework of the project MeDiTATe (The medical digital twin for aneurysm prevention and treatment) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) with Grant Agreement No. 859836. MeDiTATe is a European Industrial Doctorate (EID).

An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials synthesis. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related fields (applicants with an MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language is a plus. 

There are PhD positions at RAD Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New
Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The focus of the research will be on creating novel computational
and theoretical models for the dynamics of complex fluids with particular emphasis on particle-laden multiphase flows and biological flows of active matter in the living systems.

There are two PhD positions at RAD Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New
Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The focus of the research will be on creating novel computational

Computational and experimental design of new microfluidic devices for isolating circulating tumour cells

A Ph.D. position is available at Villanova University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, to conduct numerical simulations of biological and physiological flows. Financial support for tuition and stipend will be provided. The candidate is expected to start in fall 2019.

The candidate must have previous FORTRAN programming experience and familiar with Linux commands. Previous in-house code development experience is strongly preferred.

A fully funded PhD thesis project is available at Polytechnique Montreal on Fluid-Structure Interactions in hydraulic turbines. 

This project is to be done in collaboration with Université Laval in Québec city where a fully instrumented test turbine is available. The thesis is part of a large research consortium involving two universities and the major industrial players in the design and operation of large hydraulic turbines in the province of Quebec (Andritz Hydro, EDF, General Electric, Hydro Québec, Voith Hydro).
