We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to work 18 months on a US Air Force sponsored project focused on developing new image-based tests to identify stiffness and strength of adhesives at high strain rates. Some preliminary results can be found here. The deadline for application is August 4th 2020. The advert is available here.
The Department of Microsystems Engineering and the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Freiburg are calling for applications for
Two doctoral or postdoctoral researcher positions
Multiple Post-doctoral researcher positions with competitive salary (335000 RMB/year) are available in Dr. Hongyan Yuan’s research group at SUSTech (http://faculty.sustech.edu.cn/yuanhy3/) in Shenzhen, China.
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or WAAM techniques are attracting interest from the manufacturing industry because of their potential to produce large metal components with low cost and short production lead time. This process exists alongside other high deposition rate metal AM technologies such as powder and wire based DED. While these use either laser or an electron beam as energy source to melt a metal powder or wire, WAAM technologies melt metal wire using an electric arc.
An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Predictive Computational Engineering (PCE) Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The research project aims at developing novel computational methods for predictive modeling and uncertainty quantification of biomimetic-inspired materials systems. Candidate should already be in the U.S. and must have a Master's degree in engineering or applied math. A strong background in computational and applied mechanics is desired. If interested, contact Dr.
Two postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of physical metallurgy in CEA Saclay (France) for two years starting this Fall 2020 to work either on the thermodynamic modeling of Ti-Zr-O alloys using ab initio calculations, or on the interaction between dislocations and precipitates in Zr-Nb alloys using molecular dynamics.
1) Modeling of Ti-Zr-O thermodynamics from ab initio calculations
A postdoc position is available in the area of computational polymeric nanomaterials in Dr. Jihong Ma's group (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home) at the University of Vermont starting September or October 2020. This project will involve close collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Dr. Yong-Jie Hu’s research group in the department of materials science and engineering at Drexel University (https://drexel.edu/, Philadelphia, USA) is looking for motivated Ph.D. students starting in January 2021 or September 2021. The successful candidates will receive research assistantships with full financial support. We encourage applications from highly self-motivated students with a keen interest in applying state-of-art materials simulation tools and data-science techniques to advance the design of new materials.
Vitrimers are a groundbreaking development in polymer chemistry. This new class of polymers is neither thermoset, nor thermoplastic, but inherits properties from both polymer classes. Vitrimers were "invented" by Prof. Leibler in Paris in 2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrimers).
Many applications can be imagined, but the application of vitrimers as the polymer matrix in fibre-reinforced composites, is particularly attractive, because the recycling of fibre-reinforced composites could be drastically improved.
