Project title: Finite element analysis and experimental testing of blood clot fracture and design of thrombectomy devices to remove clots from vessels in the brain

Position: Post-doctoral Researcher
Institute: National University of Ireland Galway
Duration: 3 years
Start date: April/May 2018

Searching for PhD (thesis) candidate and Postdoctoral research associate, to work in Multiscale Materials Modeling, with special emphasis in crystal plasticity modelling with the finite element method.

Description: Outstanding applications are invited to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UCL as part of an EPSRC industrial CASE (iCASE) PhD studentship. The PhD project is being jointly supervised by Professor Ian Eames and Dr Emad Moeendarbary from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (University College London, UCL) and Dr Alireza Azarbadegan from BP plc (British multinational oil and gas company).

A PhD position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The research project is in the multiscale modeling of damage and fracture. Candidates should have a strong background and interests in continuum mechanics and finite elements modeling. Programming experience in Fortran or C++ is a big plus. The starting date for this position is August 2018.

Dear colleagues, 

There is one postdoc opening in my research group. The research topic is on computational hydro-mechanics of porous media across temporal scales. 

Candidates must have established records on constitutive modeling and publication record. Programming experience is required. Experience in contact mechanics, level set and/or meshless method is a plus but not required. 

The starting date is flexible. More information can be found at
