The University of Southern Denmark invites applications from qualified doctoral graduates for a 3-year postdoc position in the field of Soft Robotics.

The application deadline is 14th June, 2020 | Apply Online

There are PhD positions at RAD Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New
Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The focus of the research will be on creating novel computational
and theoretical models for the dynamics of complex fluids with particular emphasis on particle-laden multiphase flows and biological flows of active matter in the living systems.

Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics, University of Pittsburgh.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to join our team to work on Digital image correlation and Virtual fields modeling. Candidates must have experience in these techniques. Experience analyzing images from optical coherence tomography or microscopy will be an advantage. Experience in ophthalmology or vision science is not required. A solid publication record and evidence of strong writing and presentation skills is required.

Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics, University of Pittsburgh.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to join our team to study the mechanics of fibrous materials. Candidates must have expertise in the mechanics of materials with long fibers, such as fabrics and textiles, or of soft tissues, such as tendon or heart valves. Experience in multi-scale methods is advantageous. The project has experimental and computational elements, and therefore candidates with experience and/or interests in either will have equal opportunity to be selected. Experience with biological samples or soft tissues is preferred but not required. Similarly, experience in ophthalmology or vision sciences is not required. A solid publication record and evidence of strong writing and presentation skills will be an advantage.

2 PhD Research Assistant positions are immediately available.  The research is on computational mechanics and materials relating to nuclear materials, energy storage materials, proteins, and composite materials.  Applicants with background or interest in related research are preferred.  

Temple University is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Philadelphia is the sixth-most populous U.S. city, about 2 hours drive from New York City and 3 hours drive from Washington DC.

We are soliciting applications from outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral research position in the Computational & Experimental Materials Engineering Laboratory, at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University starting immediately.

The position is available immediately and applications will be reviewed until position is filled. This will be a one year position renewable depending on performance.

PhD Position on "Thrombus Mechanics and Growth" within the Lead Project
at the Institute of Applied Mechanics
Graz University of Technology, Austria

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in an exciting project applying advanced fiber-based mechanics to understand the eye and prevent blindness. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of engineers, clinicians and basic scientists at the Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics of the University of Pittsburgh.

We invite applications for a research scientist to work in the area of applied mechanics and materials at A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC).

A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and multi-scale modeling of biomolecular materials such as nanocellulose and their interfaces with polymers. A Ph.D. in a related field is required for this position. Expertise in atomistic and molecular modeling techniques (molecular dynamics, density functional theory, coarse-grained molecular simulations) is required. Additionally, a strong background in soft matter research (polymer science, biophysics, or related areas) is highly desired. Interested candidates should send a CV, a summary of research interests, contact information of three references, and three most relevant publications as a single pdf file to s-keten@northwestern.edu. Evaluations will begin immediately, and the start date is flexible.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) invites applications for several tenure-track faculty positions to begin July 2018 or thereafter. Appointments will be at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In special cases, a senior faculty appointment may be possible. 

We are looking for a highly motivated research scientist to work in the area of applied mechanics and materials at A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) in Singapore. The topic is on soft active materials and soft robots. You are expected to work on theoretical modeling and numerical implementation of finite element procedures.
