Faculty Positions in Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science
College of Engineering, Peking University

   The Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science of College of Engineering at Peking University invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions in mechanics and engineering science at various levels, including Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor, and Chair Professor, in the following areas:

Position Description: Two postdoctoral associate positions, one in computations and one in experiments, are available at Rice University. The first position is in the area of atomistic and molecular modeling of nanoscale defects, dislocations and mechanics of complex, low symmetry compounds. The computational techniques will be integrated to approaches from statistical mechanics and physical chemistry to provide quantitative predictions of properties of complex materials across different time- and length-scales. 

Cardiff School of Engineering invites applications for support for China Scholarship Council award holders.  The awards will cover tuition fees at the overseas rate for 3 years for applicants who secure a China Scholarship Council award to cover living costs.

One post-doctoral fellowship is available in RealTcut, funded by the Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Study

 The goal of the post-doc is to extend the preliminary results which can be seen here: http://youtu.be/KqM7rh6sE8s and will appear shortly in the journal Medical Image Analysis
 

We are seeking outstanding candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow Position at the Institute of High Performance Computing of Singapore, working on a three-year research project of additive manufacturing. The position requires a Ph.D degree in mechanical engineering, mechanics, materials science, or equivalent experience. Additional requirements include: 1) Experience in thermal and structural simulations using Abaqus. 2) Experience in molecular dynamics simulations using Lammps. 3) Strong oral and written communication skills in English.

This is a call of interest for a post-doc position (1 year renewable up to 3 years) at the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy (www.imtlucca.it), in the field of computational damage and fracture mechanics. The activities are in the framework of the ERC Starting Grant IDEAS "Multi-field and multi-scale Computational Approach to design and durability of Photovoltaic Modules" (Prof. Paggi, Principal Investigator).

The Swedish
17th century Vasa ship is unique in its kind and of high cultural
and historical interest. Therefore, interdisciplinary research teams are
constantly busy to keep the slowly degrading and deforming warship in good
geometrical shape. Initiated in 2012, the latest research project aims to
investigate creep in the Vasa ship and to develop a new support system for
improved dimensional stability. For this purpose a finite element model will be
created to assess the effect of varying geometrical parameters and material
properties. One of the key aspects is the influence of the joints of the ship
