job

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Rochester is searching for a new tenure-track Assistant Professor, to join in July 2022. The research field is materials science theory / computation particularly related to superconductors. Please see the attachement if interested or distribute to your network.

Several postdoctoral and graduate student openings with primary focus on biomechanics is available immediately in the Shenoy Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on Nation Cancer  supported Cancer Metastasis Network Center.

Two PhD Positions on Composite Materials (Onshore/Australian domestic students only).

We are currently looking to recruit two PhD candidates to work on the development of manufacturing processes and technologies for lightweight fibre-reinforced composite materials with complex geometry. Project activities include design, manufacture and testing (including non-destructive testing, NDT) of carbon fibre-reinforced composites. NDT approaches may also expand into sensor technologies for structural health monitoring of advanced composite structures.

Overview

Dr. Jingjie Hu’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NC State has openings for two fully funded Ph.D. positions in the areas of Mechanics of Materials and Biomaterials. Research in the group focuses on the mechanical behaviors of biological and biomedical systems, using both experimental and theoretical approaches (https://jingjiehu.com). Selected candidates are expected to start in Spring or Fall of 2022. 

The Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark is advertsing new PhD-positions within 15 topics.

The PhD projects #5 to #9 in the Wind Energy Materials and Components Division all relate to wind turbine rotor blades, which are very large composite structures - the largests blades are now exceeding 100 metre in length. The PhD-projects cover various aspects of fibre composites from full blade structural scale down to materials scale.

Fully funded PhD positions are available at Computational Materials Design Lab (https://mamivand.weebly.com/). The lab’s projects are focused on Computational Materials Science and Materials Informatics.  

Department of Wind Energy of DTU offers several new PhD positions, including a PHD position in “Digital twin of leading edges on wind turbine blades" (https://windenergy.dtu.dk/english/Education/PhD/New-PhD-positions/8-Digi...).

2021MFP-COFUND-7 - Dept. Mechanical Engineering

The Multiscale Mechanics and Multiphysics of Materials Lab (http://m4lab.unibs.it) at the School of Engineering at the University of Brescia, Italy announces a PhD fellowship on the subject of Modeling and simulations for next generation lithium-ion cells. The fellowship is fully funded by the m4lab in collaboration with the Austrian Research Center Virtual Vehicles (https://www.v2c2.at) and will last three years.

The postdoc fellow will work in Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), a division of Johns Hopkins University.

Duties

• Conduct underwater impulsive loading tests on a lung simulant structure (a sphere filled with porous medium)

• Develop numerical models to simulate the lung simulant structural response

• Write technical papers and research proposals

• Guide the graduate students in the group

Requirements

Two Postdoctoral Positions, 3-year full-time contract for each post, in 1) Computational Mechanics and 2) Instrumentation at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

A Postdoctoral position is available immediately at CEMEF Mines ParisTech, in the French Riviera. The aim of the project, in collaboration with Safran Aircraft Engines (SAE), is to model the fracture of glued Titanium/Composite assemblies at different scales. See the enclosed document for details.

Interested applicants can send a resume to :

The Mueller Lab invites applications for two fully-funded Postdoctoral Fellow positions at the intersection of Additive Manufacturing, Mechanical Metamaterials, and Computational Design. Of specific interest are candidates with a background in direct-ink writing (DIW), dielectric-elastomer actuators (DEA), and computational design (including optimization and machine learning).

Research Associate in Computational Design Optimization

University of Sheffield - Faculty of Engineering - Department of Civil and Structural Engineering

Job Summary:The Artificial Organs Laboratory at the Department of Surgery of the University of Maryland seeks highly motivated individuals for two post-doctoral research associate positions in the following areas: blood compatibility and design/development of blood contacting medical devices. The lab is conducting applied cardiovascular research, engaged in research and development of blood-contacting artificial organs and biologic responses to these devices.

At the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, we are looking for one PhD student (m/f/d) in the field of computational mechanics / phase-field modelling to describe microstructure evolution during a thermo-mechanical process within the ERC Consolidator Grant "Modelling Assisted Solid State Materials Development and Additive Manufacturing" (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101001567/de). Application deadline is July 14th.

In collaboration with an internationally renowned research center, we are happy to announce a fully funded PhD position on modeling and simulations of Li-ion batteries. The candidate will develop models for battery response during normal operation and high C-rates, including some of the most relevant processes of mechanical degradation. Models will be implemented in HPC using open C++ FEM libraries.
