academic job

I would like to bring to your attention two tenure-track faculty openings in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. Information about the openings may be found in the attached flyer or the posting on our website at https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/mechanical/careers/. Please feel free to share this information with colleagues, former and current advisees and others that may be interested.

The Nanoscale Mechanics and Materials Laboratory (NMML) at the University of California, Irvine is accepting applications for an open postdoctoral scholar position.  The research will focus on atomistic modeling of linear complexions, or nanoscale phases stabilized by the presence of dislocations.

Hi 

I am looking for a good PhD student in the area of materials science/polymer science/computational engineering/mechanical engineering. The position is fully funded by EPSRC and ORE Catapult for 4 years.

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Impact Engineering Experimentation for Aerospace Applications

We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to contribute to the characterisation of the mechanical response of titanium alloys at high rates of strain, high temperature and cyclic loading at low and high strain rate. This post is based at the Begbroke Science Park and is available for 2 years.

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Impact Engineering to join a team of researchers focused on investigation of pressure and strain rate dependent behaviour of composite materials for high-performance aerospace applications within the Impact Engineering Team, an integral part of the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group at the Department of Engineering Science (University of Oxford Begbroke Science Park). The post is funded by Innovate UK for a fixed-term of 1 year.

Our partner Weizmann Institute Science in Israel is currently trying to fill a PhD position for the FiBreMoD project. The title of the PhD project is "Microscale matrix and interfacial properties of fibre-reinforced composites", and will be supervised by Prof. Daniel Wagner. If you are an enthusiastic and motivated candidate with a background in Materials Science, Composites, Mechanics, or Chemistry/Chemical Engineering, then you should consider applying.

The Composite Materials Group is currently looking for a postdoc, with experience in production and characterisation of composites. It's a £2-year position, starting on the 1st of February 2017. The topic is hybridisation of self-reinforced composites with high performance fibres.

A Senior Researcher/Researcher position is available at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), at the Department of Wind Energy in the Section of Composites and Materials Mechanics. The Section consists of about 30 people and has modern laboratories for manufacturing and mechanical testing of composite materials. Research is conducted in research projects usually with external national or international collaboration. The research focusses on composites materials consisting of long, aligned fibres in a polymer matrix for use in wind turbine blades. 

Fully funded PhD positions are available to work in any area of theoretical solid mechanics. The candidate will officially be associated with the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India.
