We have an open PhD position on machine learning enhanced multi-scale modelling of textile composites. The following link provides more information about the project, and the details of the application process. Please keep in mind that only applications sent through the online application system will be evaluated.

Description of the PhD project, and how to apply

Description:

The goal of this project is to investigate the multi-scale behaviour of clay rocks, going from microscopic to macroscopic scale, with application to underground drilling. The research will be based on multi-scale approach and numerical method allowing to model microstructure media in a double-scale framework (FEMxFEM). Please, see the full description in the attached file here below.

We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral student to join computational biomechanics laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the areas of either computational mechanics or experimental methods. Candidate are expected to have strong background in numerical simulations / computer programming and/or experimental characterization of soft tissue mechanics.

One fully supported PhD position on Computational Mechanics is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University, with a desired start date of Fall 2020. The research topics will fall into the broad categories of blast, impact, and fracture. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Georgios Moutsanidis.

Required qualifications for the position are:

1. Strong background in solid mechanics.

2. Knowledge of the fundamentals of the finite element method.

A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.

One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for nonlinear and multiphysics analysis of rationally-designed architected materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr.

The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northwestern University, directed by Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, is looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher. The selected post-doctoral researcher will develop a project on the multiphysical behavior of geomaterials subjected to direct current electric fields through experimental investigations and theoretical analyses.
