job

The Advaced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab), under 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.

The Computational Mechanics and Methods Group (CM3) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interests in the broad research area of computational mechanics and methods. Ideal applicants should have strong background in solid mechanics and great interests in computational modeling & simulation using nonlocal meshfree/meshless methods, such as peridynamics.

We are looking for an applicant with Master degree in Mechanical Engineering or allied fields with prior experience in finite element modelling and mechanical/damping characterization.  The position is for a period of up to 36 months, depending on the performance of the candidate. There might be possibility of registering for the MS (by research) or PhD program at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, if found suitable in the corresponding selection procedure of these programs.

Advanced Master MAPMOD

Digital Materials and Advanced Processes Modelling

MAPMOD is a one-year full-time postgraduated program in line with industrial needs for high level competences in high added value components or equipment manufacturing in fields such as aeronautics, energy, automotive…

Ph.D. positions starting from 2021 Fall and 2022 Spring in YIN group at NCSU.

The research program will focus on soft robotics and mechanical metamaterials. Candidates with high self-motivation, experimental or modeling background and interests in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanics are highly encouraged to apply.

A postdoctoral position on multiphysics modeling of glassy polymers is available in the Silberstein lab (silbersteinlab.com) to start in summer or early fall of 2021.

I am looking for a talented and highly motivated student for a fully-funded 3-year PhD position to work on soft robotics locomotion in my group at the Center for Soft Robotics, the University of Southern Denmark.

Apply online until April 15, 2021.

Context

As part of a Europeanproject between different industrial partners and Universities, the main objective of the doctoral position will be to develop methodologies in thecontext of data-driven stochastic multi-scale simulations.

PhD opportunity

STORM-BOTS is a new european training network (ITN) dedicated to liquid crystalline elastomers and soft robotics.

Dr John Biggins (supervisor) and Prof Mark Warner FRS (co-supervisor) are searching for a talented theorist with interests in mechanics and geometry to work on the design of soft liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) machines. The studentship is part of a new Marie Sklodowska-Curie training network called storm-bots, which will encompass 13 students across Europe working on the design and creation soft LCE machines. The soft, anisotropic materials of the project, liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) and glasses, contract along their director on heating/illumination.

Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate (RA) in a project sponsored by the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) entitled “3D elastodynamic fracture simulations” supervised by Prof. Ranjith Kunnath. NSM is a joint initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeITY). 

Eligibility:

The Multiscale Materials Modelling Team in WMG (University of Warwick), led by Dr Figiel, is currently seeking a Research Fellow to carry out research in the area of Computational Micromechanics of Solid-state Batteries.

One postdoc position is available in Wang Research lab (https://www.wangresearchlab.com) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and the Institute of Materials Science (IMS) at the University of Connecticut (UConn).

We are now seeking to fill an academic position at Lecturer/Senior Lecturer/Reader rank for a successful academic to join the Division of Systems, Power and Energy Engineering. We specifically seek a candidate who can potentially contribute to the James Watt School of Engineering in the area of modelling of materials and/or processes at lower length scales where continuum assumption ceases to be valid.

A new PhD position is availale at Tribology and Suface Mechanics (TSM) group for Fall 2021/Spring 2022. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background on both experimental and analytical works are encouraged to apply. In particular, experience on metalic alloys, coatings, addtivie manufacturing, surface engineering and mechanics, contact fatigue, corrsoion and finite element anaylses is a plus.
