Multiple PhD positions are available for the fall 2012/winter 2013 semesters in microstructure-mechanics relationships for structural materials at high temperatures in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (http://www.cavs.msstate.edu) at Mississippi State University. The project is funded through Air Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR) and will involve multiscale materials characterization, in situ SEM experiments, and high temperature mechanical testing for turbine blade structural materials (nickel-based superalloys).
The research group of Computational Alloy Design at IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid, Spain) seeks a RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (Postdoctoral Researcher) (PhD Degree in materials/mechanical engineering or physics) to work in the area of mesoscale modeling for steels and smart materials. The selected candidate is expected to develop and validate a mesoscale computational tool using Landau/Phase Field model for modeling the microstructure development and solute redistribution in advanced steels and shape memory alloys under the supervision of a project leader.

The Materials Research Division at Risø DTU, Technical University of Denmark, is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in the field of defect characterisation in steel.
Job description
The position is part of a research project funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research aiming at increasing the fundamental knowledge of steel used in gears and bearings in wind turbines. The position involves the following tasks:
Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone.
Hi,
I am writing to inform you about a new master in Computational Materials Science offered at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. It is an international master program, and all the lectures will be given in English.
To enhance multidisciplinary research, the program is open to students from different background, mechanical engineering, solid state physics and materials science.
Duke University and the Pratt School of Engineering invite applications and nominations for the position of Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS). MEMS is one of four departments in the Pratt School of Engineering, within a world-class, top-ranked teaching and research institution.
