job

PhD positions with full financial support in the form of research assistant/teaching assistant are immediately available in the Department of Material Science and Department of Industrial and Manufacturing at Penn State University, starting Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. 

Position 1: Additive Manufacturing of Smart and Composite Materials (Polymer or Ceramic based Materials) 

Position 2: All-Solid-State Batteries

One PhD position with full financial support in the form of research assistant/teaching assistant is immediately available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University (SUNY), starting Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. This specific position is focused on the development of multiscale modeling of nanoplastic-biomembrane interactions combining continuum elasticity theory and particle-based simulation methods. The student will work in a diverse and inclusive research team and collaborate with experimentalists at Rochester Institute of Technology.

A postdoctoral fellow research position is availabe immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) center at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in computational modeling and experimentation in the area of additive manufacturing (3D printing).

Postdoc Open Positions

Postdoc positions with financial support (up to 3 years) are immediately available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Connecticut (UConn).

Required Degree:

Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics, Chemical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, Material Science, Condense Matter Physics, or Computational Chemistry.

There is an immediate opening of a postdoctoral researcher in the Mechanics of Soft Materials Lab (https://www.msm.seas.ucla.edu/) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The research will be on experimental mechanics of soft materials, and fabrication of soft machines. The successful candidate should have a PhD degree with expertise in experimental polymer materials.

The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab), in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Alabama is seeking qualified candidates for an open PhD position. This position is open to US citizens only.

Ondřej Rokoš, Vlado Menkovski, and Marc Geers (all from the Eindhoven University of Technology), together with Martin Doškář (Czech Technical University in Prague), are searching for a motivated Ph.D.

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.

Available postdoc positions within the Gu Group at Stanford Mechanical Engineering: 

1. Nanostructured metallic glasses - Colloidal synthesis of metallic glass nanoparticles. Fabrication of nanostructured metallic glasses from nanoparticles. Characterization of mechanical, structural and thermodynamic properties using nanoindentation, micropillar testing, transmission electron microscopy and calorimetry. Analysis of deformation mechanisms and structure-property relationships within metallic glasses.

I have a few positions (funded by NSF, AFRL, and/or ARO) for MS or PhD (preferred) students at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) in the following two topics:

1. Elastodynamic metamaterials: Characterization of dispersive constitutive equations and simulation of the material with overall properties in the time domain (TD), analysis of the effect of disorder and material nonlinearities (e.g. fracture) in their performance, etc.
