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.
A Doctorate student position is available for Summer/Fall 2018 in Mechanical Engineering. The applicant must have a master in Mechanical or Material Engineering or equivalent field. It is highly preferred that the applicants are specialized in solid mechanics. Knowledge in Surface Mechanics, Tribology and Additive Manufacturing is a plus. The position is directed by Multiscale Contact Mechanics and Tribology Laboratory at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply ASAP.

Postdoc Position Available in the Franck Lab
Effective Sept 1, I am looking to fill 1-2 postdoc position in the general area of 3D cell mechanics.
Candidates should have a strong background in solid mechanics, preferably experimental, with an interest in learning innovative techniques in experimental mechanics including digital volume correlation, 3D Traction Force Microscopy, 3D confocal, multiphoton and Super resolution imaging.
There is an opportunity to invent interpenetrating lattice materials in order to design materials of any given stiffness, strength and toughness. Currently, lattice materials, such as the 2D honeycomb and the 3D octet truss, exist in a single material on a single length scale. The challenge is to fill the intervening gaps in the lattice with a second lattice in order to improve the macroscopic properties. The new lattices will be manufactured and tested by a collaborator within the group.
