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.
