The following message is from Dr. Frans Spaepen at Harvard University:

Dear colleague,

  I am writing to draw your attention to our annual solicitation for
applications to Rowland Junior Fellows Program, which may be of interest to
your graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

Two positions for guest researchers(post-doc) at NIST on biomechanics 

Internship Announcement  

Title : FEA of Elastomers

Category: Internship in Industry

Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation

Location: Sugar Land, TX, USA

Starting Date: 01/01/2010

DEPARTMENT CHAIR POSITION
Mechanical Engineering
University of South Florida

PhD Studentship: Rock Fracture and Fragmentation
Imperial College London - Department of Earth Science and Engineering

A postdoctoral position is available starting immediately in the area of mechanics and electronic structure of graphene. The ideal candidate will have a background in materials science/computational physics/quantum chemistry with specific expertise in density functional theory and atomistic simulations. The initial appointment will be for a period of two years, renewable annually contingent upon satisfactory performance.

A position for a postdoctoral research assistant is available, for up to three  years, to work on "the development and analysis of coupled atomistic/continuum models of solids", specifically quasicontinuum and related methods.

We invite applications for Ph.D. student positions in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Maryland NanoCenter, University of Maryland, College Park. We look for talented and motivated applicants interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree in one of the following areas:

•    Mechanics of inorganic/organic hybrid nanostructures in flexible electronics
•    Mechanics of graphene-based nanostructures and nanomaterials

Requirements:

A post-doctoral research associate position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Maryland NanoCenter at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the area of multi-scale modeling (from atomistic, molecular, coarse-grained to continuum) of carbon-based nanostructured materials. Material properties of specific interest include mechanical and electrical properties, with special focus on deformation/failure mechanisms and bandgap engineering. 

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of mechanics of solids and structures. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanics of materials, will be creative and willing to explore new ideas.

For additional information, please contact Katia Bertoldi at bertoldi@seas.harvard.edu or visit the website www.bertoldi.seas.harvard.edu

A postdoctoral position is available in the area of multiscale modeling of granular solids. The position is supported by the National Science Foundation and industrial partners of the NSF Engineering
Research Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (http://ercforsops.org/). 

The part of full field displacement measurements is increasing in
experimental mechanics. Their taking into account relies on the
development of suited identification approaches, which have to be able
to take advantage of their richness. When dealing with composites, they
offer the possibility to perform the identification at a scale where
the material is heterogenenous. The goal of this thesis is to apply
inverse approaches on the challenging case of the identification of
heterogeneous elasticity and develop a robust identification

Expert programmer needed for an exciting project at the University of Minnesota involving the establishment of an online infrastructure for the evaluation of the transferability of interatomic potentials used in atomistic and multiscale simulations. The project called KIM -- the Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models -- is funded through the NSF's Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) program. For more information see the attached PDF file. The position is available immediately.

We have an opening for computational mechanics experts with Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Material science.

The position will work on thermal mechanical modeling, analysis, material characterization and reliability test to improve product reliability and manufacturability.

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), is commencing a basic research program to establish Virtual Tests for high temperature ceramic composite materials. This activity will be supported within the new National Hypersonic Science Center, Structures and Materials, which is funded by NASA and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.The overall program involves a number of institutions, led by Teledyne Scientific Co., in Thousand Oaks, California (Drs. David Marshall and Brian Cox).

Dear Colleagues:

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking applicants for the William E. Diefenderfer Chair in Mechanical Engineering. Attached is a flyer for your information. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely

Aman Haque

Applications are invited for a three year OCE Postdoctoral Fellowship in computational nanotechnology, working with scientists from the Virtual Nanoscience Laboratory in the CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering division at Clayton, in Australia. The successful applicant will work be involved in predicting the material properties for optimal nanodiamond-based drug delivery systems, in collaboration with a multi-national interdisciplinary team.

One postdoctoral position is currently available for individuals with a strong background in materials simulations—preferably atomistic methods—to develop approaches for solving inverse problems in multiscale materials modeling (i.e. determining what atomic-level structures and compositions yield desired macroscale properties, rather than predicting macroscale properties given atomic-level information). These methods will be applied to the design of radiation resistant nanocomposites in collaboration with an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at Los Alamos NL.
