job

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, to work on Batteries. The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge Cambridgeshire, UK.

Postdoc positions are immediately available in the School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (First Class Academic Discipline) at Central South University in Dr. Li's research group. Lists of topics of interest are:

1. Impact Fatigue;

2. Fluid and structure interaction;

3. Rain Erosion  

4. Fatigue of composite materials and joints

The Cardiovascular Tissue Mechanics Lab at Emory University has an immediate opening for a postdoc fellow position. Candidates who have a background in solid mechanics including (but not limited to) cardiovascular biomechanics, soft tissue biomechanics, and/or nonlinear solid mechanics are highly encouraged to apply. The position could have a second affiliate appointment at Georgia Tech.

Dr Liya Zhao from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney, global ranking QS = 45th, US News = 41th), is seeking PhD students to work on projects related to the following topics. Full scholarship will be provided (Tuition waiver + stipend).

• Nonlinear dynamics
• Vibration energy harvesting (harnessing renewable energy from base vibration or wind-induced vibration, ocean wave, etc.; developing efficiency enhancement innovations)

The Mechanics of Functional Ceramics group (http://faculty.hitsz.edu.cn/yanzilin?lang=en) at HITsz, led by Dr. Zilin Yan, Associate Professor, is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students for three directions.

Open Post-Doc Position in Italy at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia on Auxetic Metamaterials (UPDATE)

Vacancies exist for high-calibre one PhD student and one PDF to join the Integrated Design and Engineering Analysis Laboratory at York University, starting immediately.
The position’s primary area of research will focus on shape and topology optimization. 

Requirement:
- Strong background in numerical simulations, finite element analysis, and computational solid mechanics
- Excellent programming skills and experience with high-performance computing
- Proficiency in English, good written and verbal communication skills

The research is concerned with modeling of electroactive soft materials. Preference will be given to candidates with background in nonlinear finite element methods and constitutive modeling.

If you are interested, please send an email to me at: cvjmah [at] technion.ac.il with a single PDF file containing your CV, grades, names of two references, and a brief description of how your experience and background meet the requirements for this position.
