job

The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at Penn has an open search for tenure-track/tenured faculty.  We are particularly interested in candidates whose work is at the intersection of mechanical engineering and computational science. Additional details in the attached PDF file. Apply at: https://apply.interfolio.com/71186

Note: This ad was posted on multiple sites this past Fall but didn't appear on iMechanica.  As such, the deadline is quickly approaching and is January 7.

Applications are invited for two Research Assistant (PhD candidates) or Research Associates (post-docs) positions at the University of Oviedo, in close collaboration with Imperial College London. Research Assistants will be appointed for 2 years while Research Associates will be appointed initially for one year, with the possibility of extending one more year. Conditional upon satisfactory progress, the researchers will have the opportunity to divide their time between the University of Oviedo and Imperial College upon their convenience.

PhD positions are available in Dr. Caizhi Zhou's group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering - University of South Carolina. Research projects may involve crystal plasticity finite element modeling. The students will receive rigorous training and interact intensively with their academic advisor. The financial support will be in the form of GRA with a monthly stipend of approximately $2500 for 12 months each year (the tuition will be waived). Financial aids are also available for students to attend professional conferences. 

We are seeking motivated PhD students with a background in mechanical engineering, material science, physics, chemistry, or in a closely related field. Candidates with interests in (but not limited to) one or more of the following areas are particularly encouraged to apply:

· Material properties under high strain rate deformation;

· Energy absorption and protection against impact, vibration and blast;

· Nanoporous materials, including MOFs, zeolites, and silica;

· Nanofluidics and microfluidics;
