job

Two Ph.D. positions are available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The positions can be started as early as Jan 23, 2019 if possible.  Successful candidates will participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary and collaborative research group in our Blast and Impact Dynamics Lab and Additive Manufacturing for Research and Education Cluster (AMREC) at Ole Miss, and be involved in projects pursuing research in the field of shockwave/high-strain rate impact simulations, material and constitutive modeling, and failure analysis.

The newly established group for Cyber-physical Simulation at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt in Germany is offering a position for a Research Assistant in Computational Mechanics. Potential research areas include finite element methods, isogeometric analysis, design optimization, multi-scale & multi-physics, data-driven methods and additive manufacturing applications.

Professors Wilkins Aquino and John Dolbow at Duke University are soliciting applications for candidates interested in a postdoctoral fellowship in computational mechanics at Duke University.  Applicants are expected to have experience in the development of numerical methods for problems in mechanics.  Experience with nonlinear systems of equations, high-performance computing, C++, and/or meshless methods will be viewed favorably.  

Please note that a new version of the internship job description focusing on computation mechanics, with preferred skills defined, is now attached. The earlier job description (still attached as before), with focus on robotics, is still relavant. We have both positions available to fill for 2019.

We thank all students who have submitted their applications. They are currently under review. Both positions are still open as of now. - Tianxiang, Jan 14, 2019

Dear iMechanica readers,

We currently have opening for one postdoc associate available immediately at the Univesrity of Manitoba (http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~dengc/index.html). He/she will be expected to model the dislocation networks and their influence on the mechanical properties of high entropy alloys. The ideal candidate would have a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering with experiences in Dislocation Dynamics.

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to inform you that the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, seeks applications for one faculty position. The position is at the tenure-track, Assistant Professor level in the areas of Energy Science and Micro/Nanoscale Sensors and Systems.

Topics of specialization within these areas include but are not limited to:
