We are looking for PhD candidates to study interfaces in SiC/SiC fiber composites. The project is in collaboration with CEA and Centre des Matériaux, MINES ParisTech under the supervision of Marie-Hélène Berger (MINES ParisTech), Cédric Sauder (DMN/SRMA/LTMEX) and Sylvie Poissonnet (DMN/SRMP).

Title : "Influence of Carbone interphases in SiC/SiC composites based on Hi-Nicalon S and Tyranno SA3 fibers"

There is a PhD opening in the Dept of Civil Engineering-Engineering Mechanics at the University of Arizona to work with Professor Katerina E. Aifantis. The research topic is not defined yet, but will be in the area of continuum mechanics at the nanoscale. A bachelor in engineering is required and a master's would be preferred. The start date will be in mid August but the position needs to be filled as soon as possible. Those interested can contact katerinaaifantis [at] gmail.com

Dear All,

we have a DPhil studentship available in the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group, within the Impact Engineering Laboratory led by Prof Nik Petrinic.

“Geometry and Simulation” supported by the Austrian Science Fund  is searching for a PostDoc and PhD candidate with a strong background in computational methods for partial differential equations, numerical analysis, software development and scientific computing. More information about the National Research Network “Geometry and Simulation” can be found on the NRN web page http://www.gs.jku.at/index.shtml. 

We have a graduate research assistant position to be filled as
soon as possible. Please contact Dr. Kidane if you are looking for a PhD
position in the area of dynamic behavior of materials. Applicant should have a
master degree in the area of mechanical engineering, material science or
related subject.
