job

A fully supported Ph.D. position is open immediately in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama. This role focuses on the multiscale modeling of materials, specifically for the additive manufacturing of metals. The successful candidate will engage in detailed modeling of the additive manufacturing process and the development of novel metal alloys, utilizing techniques such as continuum mechanics, phase-field modeling, CALPHAD simulations, and molecular dynamics models.

Postdoc positions are available at Jiangsu University, China. Those possessing PhDs in the area of mechanical engineering and non-destructive evaluation are sought. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in experimental and computational mechanics, composite materials and structures etc. Also, candidates with experience in machine learning or material science etc. are also welcome for inter-discipline research.

Multiple PhD positions are available for Fall 2024 in the Department of Physics or the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont in Dr. Jihong Ma's group. Successful candidates will work under the supervision of Prof. Jihong Ma on projects related to atomistic simulations of polymers. The candidates should have a strong background in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and preferably have experience in MD and/or MM simulations.

The Zhao Research Group (https://sites.usc.edu/zhaogroup/) in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Southern California is seeking applications for an immediately available postdoctoral position in soft robotics. The objective of this project is to develop novel dexterous soft robotic manipulators incorporating advanced sensors, actuators, and closed-loop control.

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, Cambridge University to work on Experimental Mechanics.

The mechanical properties of alloys, and thus their susceptibility to damage and failure, are determined by their chemical composition as well as by their process-dependent microstructure. While microstructural modifications are well-known to improve, e.g., the yield stress or fatigue lifetime by orders of magnitudes, no thorough atomistic methods for systematic high-throughput exploration of the microstructure space have been performed yet.
