Faculty positions available at METU Northern Cyprus Campus
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Middle East Technical University (Northern Cyprus Campus) invites applications for faculty positions to begin in 2018. Topics of interest include advanced structures and materials, aeroelasticity, aerodynamics, flight mechanics and control, advanced propulsion systems, and space applications. Outstanding candidates in other synergistic areas will be considered as well. Even though the emphasis is preferably on individuals at the Assistant Professor level, the other ranks will also be considered.
Ph.D. Student Positions in Computational Materials and Mechanics
Several Ph.D. student positions are available in Professor El-Azab’s group with the School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University. The group performs advanced theoretical and computational research in the areas of mesoscale plasticity and dislocation dynamics, radiation effects in materials, microstructure evolution, phase field method development, and computational methods for materials science and mechanics. Applicants with MS in mechanical, aerospace, or materials engineering, with background in microstructure science, continuum mechanics and elasticity, numerical methods or computational techniques such as finite element method are highly preferred. Knowledge of an advanced programming languages such as Fortran or C++ is required. Exceptional applicants with BS degree will also be considered. The openings are for fall 2018 semester but those who wish start in the spring or summer 2018 will be accommodated. Applicants must meet Purdue University and School of Materials Engineering admission criteria. For inquiry please send email to Professor El-Azab (aelazab [at] purdue.edu).
Postdoctoral Position At Northwestern University
A postdoctoral associate position is available immediately at the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory at Northwestern University with Prof. Sinan Keten. This research project focuses broadly on the atomistic and multi-scale modeling of biomolecular materials such as nanocellulose and their interfaces with polymers. A Ph.D. in a related field is required for this position. Expertise in atomistic and molecular modeling techniques (molecular dynamics, density functional theory, coarse-grained molecular simulations) is required. Additionally, a strong background in soft matter research (polymer science, biophysics, or related areas) is highly desired. Interested candidates should send a CV, a summary of research interests, contact information of three references, and three most relevant publications as a single pdf file to s-keten [at] northwestern.edu. Evaluations will begin immediately, and the start date is flexible.
Postdoctoral and PhD positions in Stochastic Computational Mechanics, Duke University
Several positions at the PhD and postdoctoral levels are available in the group of Prof. Guilleminot at Duke University. The ideal candidates should have a particular interest in conducting interdisciplinary research at the interface of computational mechanics, materials science and uncertainty quantification. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) stochastic modeling and computational frameworks for large-scale nonlinear materials and systems, statistical inverse problems and multiscale approaches.
