job

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:

There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the spring semester of 2020.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.

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.
