We have multiple (Direct) PhD positions in the field of micromechanics of metals and alloys. Our research focuses on the finite element modelling and diffraction-based characterization of deformation and fracture of polycrystalline materials. Currently our research themes include:
I am seeking a PhD student preferably starting January 2023, at University of Illinois at Chicago. Must be a US citizen or permanent resident (or, in some cases, working toward permanent residency). There are several professors in the department working on related projects in civil infrastructure. The project for which I am recruiting involves finite element or numerical analysis of infrastructure. There is some flexibility in defining the project.

Dear iMechanicians,
I hope you find the following article useful. We develop the first phase field fracture formulation for CNT-based composites. A mean-field homogenisation approach is combined with a micromechanical description of carbon nanotube's fracture and pull-out, including the agglomeration effect.

We are seeking a creative and enthusiastic postdoc to work at Duke University as part of a collaborative DOE funded project entitled "FAIR Data and Interpretable AI Framework for Architectured Metamaterials". Candidate should have phd in mechanical or materials engineering, with experience in mechanical metamaterials, the underlying physical principles, finite element simulations, and preferably some knowledge of AI/ML and desire to learn more.
We have Ph.D. positions in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) with a primary focus on the mechanobiology of cells and tissues. We are looking for candidates with a background in solid and fluid mechanics to work in a collaborative environment. Our research develops integrated computational and experimental tools to understand and harness the role of mechanics in physiological processes such as wound healing, and pathological processes such as fibrocontractile diseases and tumor progression.
An immediate postdoctoral associate position with a tentative start date of Jan 15 is available in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama with Prof. Kasra Momeni on multiscale modeling materials and processes. This project aims to develop multiscale models of alloys under extreme conditions, such as radiation, heat, and stresses, to develop new alloys. The postdoctoral researcher will lead several projects on material design using various techniques, such as molecular dynamics, phase-field, and CALPHAD.
