job

Postdoctoral position in Computational modelling of life extension and maintenance of composite blades of wind turbines, at DTU Wind.

Wind turbines are decommissioned after 20...25 years of service. However, blades can be potentially exploited for 50 or more years. How to predict and extend the lifetime of wind turbine blades? How to optimize repair of blades, to ensure their extended lifetime?

Dear Colleagues,

My research group in the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma is looking for a Ph.D. student to work in the general fields of computational materials science and solid mechanics. Please share the attached flyer with anyone who may be interested.

Funded Ph.D. position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering- Engineering Mechanics at the Michigan Technological University. Starting June/September 2023. 

Kindly forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in this position. 

We are looking for a self-motivated Ph.D. student to study Machine Learning enabled computational models for applications in Material Modeling and Computational Mechanics. 

Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate mechanics and numerical modeling of granular materials and debris flows through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.

Dear Mechanics Community Friends,

Professors Kenneth Liechti and Rui Huang in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas Austin have an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to engage in a funded project in the area of multilayered van der Waals materials. Although the project involves both experiments and modeling, the thrust of this position will be experimental. Accordingly, we seek a creative individual who has prior experience in conducting nanomechanical experiments with 2D materials.

The Mechanics of Infrastructure Materials research group is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on multi-physics continuum modelling of solid-state batteries. The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda (Mechanics of Materials) and by Prof Greg Offer and Dr Monica Marinescu from Imperial's Battery group.

Structural Integrity and MEchanical Design (SIMED) group is seeking a 17-month full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (or Associate Researcher, not holding a PhD) in Computational Fracture Mechanics. The successful applicant will work at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine, under Dr Enrico Salvati’s supervision.

The Structural Optimization research group at Technion (PI Oded Amir) invites applications for a PhD position in the field of Topology Optimization using Iso Geometric Analysis.  The position is part of a research project funded by the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF).  

The project

2 funded PhD positions are available in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University.  One research focus is on the design of architected composite structures for 3D printing.  More broadly, the student will be exposed to computational materials and mechanics of energy, nano/bio, and engineering materials.  The student will have opportunities to work with experimentalists and data scientists to generate high-impact research works.  Temple University is located in Philadelphia, the sixth-most populous U.S.

Postdoc & PhD Positions Open on Civil and Structural Engineering at Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, China

The Artificial Organ Lab at the Departments of Surgery at the University of Maryland is a national leader in the development of circulatory and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support devices. The group is led by a team of engineers and clinicians well-versed in the engineering, clinical, and scientific aspects of medical devices. The research activities are carried out within a multidisciplinary research and design team consisting of clinicians, surgeons, scientists, engineers, residents, and students.

The Mechanics Department at École Polytechnique invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor level in solids mechanics. See details in attached document.

I would like to share two faculty openings in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
