There is one open Ph.D. student position with financial support (both tuition and stipend) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Villanova University. The successful applicant will work with Dr. David Cereceda in the Multiscale Modeling and Machine Learning (M3L) Laboratory on interdisciplinary research topics that involve Computational Mechanics, Multiscale Modeling of Materials and Machine Learning.
A postdoctoral position in the UIUC research group of Prof. Harley Johnson is available immediately. The project, in collaboration with Prof. Shaoxing Qu of Zhejiang University, will involve modeling of coupled mechanical and optical behavior of 2D materials. Candidates should have experience with empirical and first-principles atomistic modeling. The position will start no later than July 31st, 2017, for a one-year duration, and may be renewable depending on progress and availability of funds.
The Adaptive Intelligent Materials and Systems Center (AIMS) at Arizona State University is looking for PhD and Postdoctoral candidates to work in the areas of systems health monitoring and prognosis. The research will be conducted under the supervision of Professor Aditi Chattopadhyay. The candidate should have expertise in at least one of the following desired skills:
Structural health monitoring of aerospace components
Statistical modeling and pattern recognition
Machine learning
Dr. Benjamin C.K. Tee's research group in the National University of Singapore (NUS) is hiring PhD students and post-doctoral fellows.
Dr. Liying Jiang (http://www.eng.uwo.ca/mechanical/faculty/jiang_l/index.html) at the University of Western Ontario is recruiting postdocs and graduate students, at both MESc and PhD levels. Priority will be given to students with Solid Mechanics background. Please send your CV with your transcripts to her by email: lyjiang [at] eng.uwo.ca (lyjiang[at]eng[dot]uwo[dot]ca)
Our Group of High Performance Materials in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on Multiscale Modeling of Soft Materials starting Fall 2017.
Mechanics fundamentally governs the way cells and tissues adopt their functional shapes, the way they resist stresses, and the way they move, individually or collectively. In turn, mechanical forces critically influence cell behavior. Over the last decade, the field of mechanobiology has emerged, emphasizing the tight interplay between mechanics and biological function.
Two PhD positions and two postdoc positions are available at the University of Padua in the field of computational mechanics of materials. The work will involve building a multi-scale model to study contact, friction and lubrication.
For the PhD candidates, a Master Degree is required. Experience with programming is a requirement for PhD as well as postdoctoral applicants. Experience with dislocation dynamics and/or molecular dynamics simulations is appreciated.
Postdoc and PhD student positions are available at Arizona State University. Research background in at least one of the following areas is preferred.
1. Prognostics for fatigue and fracture
2. Probabilistic methods and reliability
3. Data analytics
4. Inverse problem and optimization
5. Dynamic system and network modeling
