We are inviting motivated, talented students to apply a PhD opening fully funded by NIH starting Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. The project is focused on the computational modeling of membrane mechanics for understanding vesicle formation in bacteria. The student will work in a multidisciplinary group with experimental microbiologists and mechanical engineers. Candidates with a background in mechanics and biophysics/biochemistry are encouraged to apply. Strong programming skills in C/C++ and experience with all-atom or coarse-grained molecular dynamics are preferred.

One postdoctoral position is available in the Computational Cardiovascular Bioengineering Lab at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University. This position will focus on developing and using integrated computational-experimental models of cardiovascular function. Some representative research projects are described here: http://c2bl.engr.tamu.edu/.

The University of California Merced seeks applications for a postdoctoral scholar in the Martini Research Group. The position requires significant experience with atomistic simulations using empirical model-based simulation tools and strong computational skills in general, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills. Preference will be given to applicants whose research background includes investigation of the mechanical properties of nanoparticles. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal.

A postdoctoral position in “Multi-Scale Modeling of Composites” is available in Tehrani Group in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at UT Austin. The position starts in August 2020. The required qualifications for this position are as follows:
