job

Dr. Kassab’s Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IUPUI) is seeking a post doctoral fellow in micromechanics and multiscale modeling/simulation of the mechanical behaviors of coronary arteries. The project is well funded by NIH. Please see attachments for description of the position  and abstract of the research plan.

Mellichamp Chair in Systems Biology. The University of California Santa Barbara seeks to hire a highly creative and productive individual to fill a Mellichamp Chair in Systems Biology. The opening has resulted from a philanthropic gift that has been generously donated by Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp.

Candidates at all levels will be considered. The primary academic appointment will be in either Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, with a possible joint appointment in a related science department.

The LMPM (http://www.lmpm.ensma.fr) seeks candidates for a post-doctoral position in the domain of numerical development applied to the modelling of coupled phenomena. It consists in understanding, modelling and simulating the different couplings (like mechanical, thermal, chemical and diffusion problems) on industrial cases.

The LMPM is a research centre in France which focuses on  durability of material under severe environment (multiphysic coupling).

A postdoctoral position isavailable in the research group led by Dr. Joseph A. Turner in the Departmentof Engineering Mechanics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL).

The MIT School of Engineering seeks an outstanding individual for a tenure-track position in the area of Computational Engineering at the assistant or untenured associate professor level. In exceptional circumstances more senior candidates will be considered. The position shall be associated with the “home” engineering department most suitable for the selected candidate. Here is a PDF file of this advertisement. 

The Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, invites applications for a PhD / PostDoc position at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS).

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the assistant, associate, or full professor ranks to begin August 2009. Applicants are sought in all areas of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics but preference will be given to those with interest and expertise in aerospace structures/mechanics of materials, multidisciplinary design and analysis, experimental thermal-fluids, propulsion, wind energy, and wind engineering.

Highly competitive candidates are sought for locally-funded fellowships in biomechanics at Cambridge University.  The Next Generation Fellowships are being advertised through the new Centre for Trophoblast Research, an interdisciplinary research centre focused on the trophoblast, the critical cell in the development and function of the placenta. 

Multiple, assistant researcher/research scientist/postdoctoral positions are available in a large, 4-year duration, Department of Defense program on “Release, Atmospheric Dispersal, and Environmental Fate of Liquid Agents”.  The effort is aiming to: (a) achieve a basic understanding of the physics of aero-breakup and dispersal of liquid agents in high-speed flows, (b) achieve a basic understanding of impact/spreading/absorption/reaction/evaporation of drops falling on various substrates, and (c) develop and validate computational tools covering the hierarchy of scales involved and purposes

There are several  fully funded graduate student openings in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Utah State University (http://www.mae.usu.edu). The openings are in the broad area of Computational Solid Mechanics. In particular, applicants having demonstrated interest (in terms of completed projects, authorship in journal articles or coursework) in Fracture Mechanics are especially invited.

Colleagues, can I draw your attention to the following position. Closing date is 5th December. If you want to know more about the post or the department feel free to contact me.

Thanks, Charles

Dear All,

A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.

The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural
and social sciences.
