I have an opening for a new postdoctoral scholar to join my research group, please see attached. The project is on the field-scale calibration of DEM models. Primary responsibilities include developing and executing large-scale experiments, interpretation and synthesis of results, and collaboration with modelers to perform the calibrations.
The Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellowships at Purdue Engineering are awarded in memory of Dr. Lillian Moller Gilbreth, Professor at Purdue from 1935-1948. A world renowned pioneer in the application of psychology to industrial engineering, Dr. Gilbreth’s work epitomized interdisciplinary research and broader impact on industry and society.

Fully funded PhD and Postdoc positions in the area of meta-materials, computational mechanics and wave propagation available in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University. Research will be in topics related to the mechanics of metamaterials and the mechanics of granular media.
Structured Materials & Dynamics Laboratory (http://cmdl.missouri.edu/) at University of Missouri develops innovative solutions for Solid Mechanics and Structured Materials, in particular the new frontiers of structural dynamics, wave propagation, micromechanics, topological and quantum mechanics, smart materials and dynamical behaviours of multi-functional materials, both man-made and formed naturally, and understanding relationship between microstructures and material macroscopic properties.
Dear Colleagues, Peers, Friends, and Savants,
Do you want to give back to your community, broaden your research horizons, understand the other side of funding, or just seek a temporary change of venue to reinvigorate yourself? Then, here is an opportunity at NSF/MoMS to do just that: https://beta.nsf.gov/careers/openings/eng/cmmi/cmmi-2020-1826.
Please, consider, disseminate, and encourage worthy candidates. I'm always available to provide more information. You know how to contact me.
We seek a full-time Ph.D. student to work on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of nickel-based superalloys in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama. The position will start in January 2021 and will be for four years. It will be funded through a new NSF project on surface engineering of the nickel-based superalloys. The goal is to explore and understand the strengthening and precipitate interactions.
The Cai Soft Biomatter Laboratory (http://softbiomatter.org/) at the University of Virginia is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Researcher position in 3D printing of soft biomaterials. The project consists of two core areas: (1) materials innovation and (2) technology development. The successful candidate will develop new soft materials as inks for 3D printing, and use customized 3D printing technologies to transform the materials to adaptive structures for photonic and biomedical applications.
