job

Dear Friends,

I am looking for a postdoctoral candidate who wishes to apply for a JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) fellowship.

This fellowship is a highly competitive scheme and includes a generous monthly salary (at the current exchange rate, around 3000 Euro or 3300 $) plus airfare (round-trip ticket to Japan).

I will support the application as a host and will help writing the proposal.
Applicants are allowed to suggest their own project, but preference will be given to candidates with experience and interest in two topics:

URV 2019 PhD STUDENTSHIPS @ LIFE group, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona (http://lifeurv.wordpress.com/)

Grant reference: 2019PMF-PIPF-75  - Dept. Mechanical Engineering

Large structural elements forming structures such as bridges, retaining walls and tunnel linings may contain hidden defects that limit their longevity, with major safety and cost implications. Also, when a structure is subjected to intense loading, internal damage may occur which is not visible on the surface.

Modern digital design and fabrication methods in architecture, engineering and construction, provide enhanced freedom in the sculpting, optimisation, fabrication and construction of building geometries, be they free-form structural shells, cladding elements or performance optimised lightweight structural components.

 Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The project will involve the development of novel computational tools to unravel fracture mechanics challenges across disciplines. The student will join the Mechanics of Infrastructure Materials Lab, led by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda.

We are seeking outstanding candidates for a 4 year PhD studentship fully funded by the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering. The student will be jointly supervised by Dr. Emad Moeendarbary based in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Dr Umber Cheema based at the Division of Surgery and Interventional Sciences.

Studentship Description:

There is a new opening for a PhD student at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney (Australia). We are looking for a PhD student in the broad area of computational mechanics. Candidates should have a strong background in the theory and application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and expertise in programming (Matlab, Fortran, etc.).

Dear colleagues, 

There is a PhD position available for UK/EU students at the School of MACE, University of Manchester.

This PhD opportunity in fluid dynamics/nanocomposite manufacturing at the University of Manchester. We are looking for a motivated student with a strong background in fundamental fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and computer programming.
