computational mechanics

Please note that a new version of the internship job description focusing on computation mechanics, with preferred skills defined, is now attached. The earlier job description (still attached as before), with focus on robotics, is still relavant. We have both positions available to fill for 2019.

We thank all students who have submitted their applications. They are currently under review. Both positions are still open as of now. - Tianxiang, Jan 14, 2019

Dear iMechanica readers,

A fully PhD studentship in Computational Biomechanics is available at the Zienkiewicz Center for Computational Engineering (ZC2E), Swansea University, United Kingdom.

Project title: Multiscale meshfree modelling of the biorheological behaviour of healthy and diseased red blood cells

Closing date: 31 January 2019.

Proposed start date: April 2019.

Project supervisors: Dr Adesola S Ademiloye and Professor Perumal Nithiarasu

The new group of Prof. J. Gaume at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) invites applications by highly motivated, committed, and talented students/researchers for 2 PhD and 1 PostDoc positions in the field of Computational Mechanics for Snow and Avalanche Modeling.

I am seeking a Ph.D. student and/or postdoc associate for a number of projects related to high-strain-rate plasticity and phase-transition of porous media. 

Candidates with demonstrated experience in computational mechanics, poromechanics, and implementation of codes in C++ and python are strongly preferred. Basic understanding of tensor calculus and continuum mechanics is required for the Ph.D. position. Students with track-records of academic achievements are encouraged to apply. 

We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow who has experience and interest in developing and implementing computational methods and algorithms for simulation and optimization in structural and continuum mechanics.

Dear Mechanician,

we are searching for excellent PhD candidates for the next 3-yrs PhD programme in Systems Science (Track Computer Science and Systems Engineering, research unit MUSAM on Multi-scale Analysis of Materials) of the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (Lucca, Tuscany, Italy) to work on an interdisciplinary research topic across computational mechanics, materials science, optimization, and high-performance computing.

Deadline: August 3rd 2018 at 12.00pm (CEST)
