We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on Computational Solid Mechanics, with focus on Cell Adhesion and Mechanobiology. The project is in collaboration with experimental biologists and biophysicists located at UBC and other international laboratories. It will involve the use analytical tools in Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (e.g. Statistical Mechanics), and computational tools such as Finite Element Analysis. The goal will be to derive important scaling laws to understand the mechanical behavior of Biological Cells under different processes such as Motility, Differentiation and Mitosis.

1 funded PhD position is available immediately.  The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, biomaterials, and composite materials.  Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Washington DC.  Temple University is ranked 103 by US News.  Interested candidates please send CV, transcripts and standard test scores to ling.liu@temple.edu

#IPPTPAN in collaboration with Department of Engineering at #NTU is offering four fully supported #PhD positions in the following fields:

1) Non-linear thermo-mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline shape memory alloys undergoing complex loadings < https://www.ippt.pan.pl/_download/tem_prac_dok/2020_z_kowalewski_en_1.pdf >

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge, with the student being supervised by Dr ​​​​Emilio Martínez Pañeda (main supervisor), Prof Catherine O'Sullivan (Imperial College) and Prof Norman Fleck FRS FREng (University of Cambridge). 

The project aims at developing new theoretical and computational micromechanics-based models for rocks and porous media. More details of the project are given here:

Fully-funded PhD position in EMSI lab at EFPL - flow and failure of soft materials

The focus of the thesis project is on the flow and failure mechanisms in soft materials. Whereas a comprehensive framework for understanding yield in crystalline materials has helped us to understand plastic deformation of metals for nearly a century, no comprehensive framework has been developed for soft materials. Indeed, yielding and failure mechanisms in soft materials are strongly tied to the failure of everyday materials, from soil and rocks to cosmetics and food, and are thus ubiquitous in our daily experience. A variety of experimental approaches will be used to study flow and failure in soft materials using elastomers and hydrogels as material models, including optical microscopy and x-ray tomography. Prior experience in these methods is not required. Some laboratory experience is preferred, as students will be in charge of the experiments from design of the apparatus to data processing and interpretation. Strong communication ability is necessary, as numerical modelling will be carried out in collaboration.

Interested candidates holding an MS degree in Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering or Physics are encouraged to apply to the EDME doctoral school in Lausanne. The application should indicate interest in joining the EMSI lab (emsi.epfl.ch), and candidates should submit a CV directly to Prof. John Kolinski (john.kolinski [at] epfl.ch).

3.5-year D.Phil. studentship

Supervisor: Prof Nik Petrinic

We are seeking to recruit students for two doctoral projects arising as part of a long-term collaboration with Rolls-Royce. In particular, the projects will support future design of large gas turbine engines for civil aviation. The students will be members of the Impact Engineering Team, a large and vibrant team whose industrial sponsors are the largest global engineering organisations (see iel.eng.ox.ac.uk).
