We are pleased to invite applications for a PhD position in the new four-year EU-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie ITN programme “INSPIRE - INNOVATIVE GROUND INTERFACE CONCEPTS FOR STRUCTURE PROTECTION”. This network is led by National Technical University of Athens and consists of 7 European universities (Univ. of Trento, ETH, Univ. of Lille, Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Univ. of Mons, Univ of Bologna) 1 Research Institute (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) as well as 5 industrial partners (RINAC,FIP, ADT, IGF, GRSc).

The University of Edinburgh and ESTACA Ecole D'Ingenieurs are currently looking for an enthusiastic UK/French student to carry out a hashtag#PhD in the development of 4D printed actuators by hashtag#additi

A PhD Research Assistant position in Materials Science and Engineering is available. The research focuses on the computational modeling of elasto-plastic phase transitions in alloys. Applicants with a background or interest in this research field are preferred.

Interested applicants can send an email to lmushongera [at] unr.edu with the resume, cover letter, transcripts, GRE and TOEFL scores in attachment. The position is available for start in Spring 2020.

The Computational Mechanics and Physics Laboratory at Vanderbilt University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher interested in the area of ice sheet modeling and fracture mechanics of Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers. 

I am looking for a highly motivated, hard working, and bright student to fill a fully funded MS/ PhD position in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.com). Candidates are expected to have strong background and/ or inclination for math, and coding. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: artificial intelligence, continuum mechanics, numerical methods, finite element methods, analytical chemistry, computational material science, etc.

Please find attached a young postdoc announcement on the "Theoretical and experimental study of polymer nanocoatings for prefilled syringes". The position is addressed to recent PhD graduates (future PhD holders or candidates with less than a year from their PhD defense).

The Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering invites applications at the Assistant Professor level from outstanding individuals with demonstrated expertise or research potential in Advanced Solid Mechanics applied to Extreme Environments. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, loading of materials as a result of in-air or underwater blast or explosion, implosion of structures, impact mechanics, dynamic response of materials under extreme temperatures or pressures, saline or maritime conditions, and dynamic fracture fragmentation. Applicants are expected to have either a strong experimental background, or be expert in the computational modeling of solids under extreme loading conditions.

We are recruiting a PhD student at the division of Applied Mechanics, Uppsala University. If interested, please check it out here:
