job

Two postdoctoral positions are
available in the area of applied mechanics/mechanical design at the National
University of Singapore, Singapore.  Experiment
experience is a plus. One may focus on energy harvesting using soft active
materials, while the other may focus on soft robots.

A postdoctoral research position is
available at the Earth Sciences Institute, at the Hebrew University,
Jerusalem, Israel, focusing on understanding basic processes of
submarine landslide triggering, with applications to the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea, offshore Israel. The work will involve numerical
and/or physical modeling, analyzing the mechanisms of submarine
slope-failure. Applicants should send their CV and intention letter
including names of 3 referees, directly to the PIs: Prof. Einat Aharonov

Candidates with a strong background in computational mechanics of solids, interfacial mechanics, granular materials and computational methods are highly encouraged to apply.

A post-doc position is available at the VSB - Technical University Ostrava, Czech Republic on multiaxial fatigue. Because VSB-TUO is joint in our FADOFF project on validating multiaxial criteria (www.fadoff.cz) and development of PragTic fatigue solver (www.pragtic.com), I expect a close cooperation with the successful applicant. The deadline for an electronic application is nevertheless very close - next Monday August 20, 2012. See the brief version (http://www.pragtic.com/docu/Postdocs_VSB_brief.pdf) and full version (http://www.pragtic.com/docu/Postdocs_VSB.pdf) of the call - the position on multiaxial fatigue is K4.

I have a postdoc position in the dept. of MAE in UCSD, starting from Feb. 2013.

The research will be on the mechanics of soft materials and biomaterials, the design and fabrication of soft active structures and

mechanics of energy materials. 

People with experimental background on experimental mechanics, materials fabrication and bioengineering is perferred. 

Please send CV with reaserach experience and publications to the email: shqcai@gmail.com, if you have interest.  

ANSYS, Inc. has an immediate job opening in Houston, TX for a Technical Services Engineer.  This is a full time position.
