The Department of
Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening
for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2012. The position’s primary
area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and
characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at small length-scales. The
initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the
availability of funds. A strong background in solid mechanics with an expertise

Description:

TitanX is strengthening its numerical simulation capabilities. As part of this process, we are looking for two additional FE Analysts.

The exact scope and location of each position can to some extent be adjusted, function of the applications we will receive. We therefore encourage anyone looking for new challenges and exciting opportunities in the field of simulation to send their CV to our Group Simulation Manager, Jean-Baptiste Leydet. E-mail: jean-baptiste.leydet@titanx.com

Please, give a look to my research activity at: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/

If you are strongly motivated to work with a very active group (http://ssmg.unitn.it) in Solid Mechanics, we have a post-doc position for 2 years available not before October 2012.

The position is on a EU grant (http://intercer2.unitn.it/) and is addressed to constitutive/numerical/theoretical modelling of ceramics.

There is an immediate opening for a Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T - formerly University of Missouri-Rolla). The Metallurgical Engineering program at Missouri S&T is one of the largest and most respected in the U.S. (http://mse.mst.edu).

The Ph.D. research project is about developing a coupled phase-field crystal plasticity model for predicting stress-strain-microstructures relations during deformation.

Hi all,

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission,Insitute for Energy (IET), in Petten Nehterlands, is looking for a motivated scientist or engineer at post-doctoral level to work on characterization of primarily metallic materials for nuclear reactors using a combination of techniques such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Xray diffraction (XRD), and 3D X-ray tomography.  (see attachment)

Postdoctoral positions are currently available at MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations. Experience in atomistic methods (both classical potential or first principles) or mesoscale methods (e.g. phase field or dislocation dynamics) is preferred. Projects will focus on several different aspects of grain boundary and heterophase interface properties in metals. There are no citizenship requirements associated with these
