job

We are looking for an Assistant Professor who can strengthen our position in the field of Multiscale modelling of multifunctional supramolecular materials at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. The development of bio-inspired supramolecular and hybrid (nano) materials is attracting much interest.

Currently, a 2-year post-doc position is available in the Onck group. 

We are looking for an ambitious candidate with affinity for computational modelling that has completed (or is in the process of completing) a PhD degree in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics or Applied Mathematics. Candidates that have hands-on experience with Finite Element and/or Molecular Dynamics techniques are especially invited to apply.

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE at the UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA invites applications for a full-time position as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND APPLIED MECHANICS in the laboratory of Prof. Robert W. Carpick (http://carpick.seas.upenn.edu).

I am seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Phase-Field modelling of fracture to join the Design of Machines group at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine. The position is fixed-term for 1 year with funding provided by the European Social Fund (ESF). 

Applications are invited for an immediate postdoctoral associate opening in the broad area of soft robotics in the Applied Mechanics of Materials Lab of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, US.

This project will focus on bioinspired multifunctional high-performance soft robots in manipulation and locomotion.   

Two Ph.D. positions and one postdoc position are available in Wang Research lab (https://www.wangresearchlab.com) in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia.

Ph.D. positions

The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (Düsseldorf, Germany) offers a position in the department Structure and Nano-/Micromechanics of Materials (Prof. G. Dehm): PhD student or postdoc position in “Atomistic Computer Simulation of Grain Boundary Structure and Mechanics”

Understanding how grain boundaries influence plasticity will lead to significant advances in material design. In the context of the department’s research, the overarching aim of this PhD project is to connect grain boundary structures in fcc metals to physical properties.

One Ph.D. position in the field of design and mechanics of additively manufactured lattice structures is available in my group in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. This position is in the support of the 2020 NSF CAREER Award (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1943465&HistoricalAwards=false)

Open PhD positions are available in the Materials and Mechanics Lab, in the Department of 

We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work 18 months on a US Air Force sponsored project focused on developing new image-based tests to identify stiffness and strength of adhesives at high strain rates. Some preliminary results can be found here. The deadline for application is August 4th 2020.
