A new postdoctoral fellow position will start on 1 January 2017 at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The position is in the area of computational modeling of reinforced concrete structures under impact loading. The potential candidate should have strong background in nonlinear solid mechanics, finite elements method, and discrete elements method. A prior knowledge in programming using fortran and python is required.

The Composite Materials Group is currently looking for a postdoc, with experience in production and characterisation of composites. It's a £2-year position, starting on the 1st of February 2017. The topic is hybridisation of self-reinforced composites with high performance fibres. You can find all the details on http://tinyurl.com/hythec .

Update: this position is now closed!

Kindly view the PDF announcement for more details. The research will be conducted under the supervision of Professor Maurizio Porfiri, director of the DSL. The Dynamical Systems Laboratory (DSL) is seeking to recruit outstanding Ph.D. students in a number of funded research projects.

Post-doctoral research fellow positions are available immediately in the Labs of Professor Satya N. Atluri at Texas Tech University.
