Ph.D. and postdoctoral openings in the area of non-periodic mechanical metamaterials
One fully-funded Ph.D. student position and two postdoctoral openings are available at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague.
Successful candidates will join a newly-formed interdisciplinary group of researchers with expertise in computational mechanics, composite materials, optimization, and mobile and modular robotics. Depending on your research experience and interests, you will contribute either to modeling or experimental investigation of modular pattern-forming mechanical metamaterials built on principles of non-periodic tilings.
Postdoc and Faculty positions at Hunan University China
We have openings for two positions of post-doc fellow in our research group in the College of Civil Engineering at the Hunan University, China. These positions will focus on the high performance composites in civil engineering, and bio-inspired composites for flexible armor. For the post-doc positions, in addition to a strong understanding of solid mechanics and materials, experience in FE modelling using LS-DYNA is highly desirable. For the faculty positions, the candidate should have strong research background in high performance construction materials (i.e.
Graduate Student and Post-doc Opportunities at UH

The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Hamid Akbarzadeh at McGill University.
Multiple Doctoral Positions in Multiscale Modeling of Friction and Adhesion
Adhesion and friction involving fluids or viscous matter, such as encountered in adhesives or in lubrication, are processes that determine everyday life, from human interaction with the environment to the function and reliability of machinery.
Phd / PostDoc position Additive Manufacturing - Polymers
A postdoc or a PhD position are available immediately at the Laboratoire de Mecanique des Solides (Solid Mechanics) at https://www.polytechnique.edu/. The project is focused on understanding the impact of UV polymerization on the constitutive behaviour of printed polymer composites. The position is part of an ongoing collaboration with a german academic partner. The offers are detailed both in english and french on the job site of the CNRS (www.cnrs.fr):
Two Faculty Searches in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University has two on-going faculty searches.
In one search, we seek candidates to teach interdisciplinary classes related to mechanical engineering design, product design, and the design processes itself, with applications across all mechanical engineering disciplines including robotics, mechatronics, mechanical systems, thermal systems and energy systems.
In the second search, we seek candidates for an Open Topic and Open Rank search.
