The Fracture Mechanics and Structural Integrity Research Laboratory (NAMEF) of the Polytechnic School of Engineering at the University of São Paulo (EPUSP) in Brazil has an opening for a 2-year postdoctoral fellow (which may be extended to an additional year depending on funding availability) with a strong background in fracture mechanics and computational modeling of materials starting from February/2025.
World-renowned mechanician, Professor Freund at Brown University passed away on October 3, 2024. He was a member of the US National Academy of Sciences/Engineering and made significant contributions to mechanics research and the scientific community. Moreover, Prof. Fruend mentored many outstanding Ph.D. students including Prof. Yang Wei at Zhejiang University and my mentor Prof. Ares Rosakis at the California Institute of Technology. His famous works include two books: Dynamic Fracture Mechanics, Thin Film Materials co-authored with Subra Suresh.
