POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST – Mechanics and Fracture of ice sheets

The School of Engineering at University of Edinburgh is seeking to appoint a lecturer with demonstrated research excellence and the capacity to develop academic leadership in his/her
research area. Applications from candidates with a vision for interfacing
between the powerful science and engineering base of the College and industrial
needs, with strengths in interdisciplinary research, theoretical concept
development, and/or experimental research within the broad remit of Engineering
are encouraged to apply. Those with a research interest in Geotechnical
Engineering, Materials, Geo-Environmental Applications or Structures are

The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for two open positions as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific projects involve (i) the characterization of the constitutive and failure behavior of structural materials (aluminum alloys, steels, titanium alloys and other selected materials) under quasi-static and dynamic conditions, and (ii) the characterizaation and modeling of the dynamic response of metal-matrix composites. These positions are available immediately.

A two-year postdoctoral position is available at the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics (OCCAM) to work with myself on the mechanical and geometrical analysis of filament assemblies with application to biological systems. Details and Further Particulars can be found at

A research position is now opening in the field of Computational Mechanics of granular materials, in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. This position should start between May and September 2010, and is a full-time fixed-term PostDoc position for 2 years (TVL E13).

A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia. The  project aims to understand the effects of solid solute, grain size and intermetallic structure on the strength of Mg alloys through modelling and simulation. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Design in Light Metals.

This studentship has now been filled, but there may be further similar studentships to follow.
