The DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, University of California, Berkeley, seeks applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor position in the areas of Design, Robotics, Applied Energy Systems, and Nanoscale Systems Engineering.
A fully funded PhD scholarship exists in the area of Mechanics of Materials, endowed in honour of Prof M F Ashby. The successful applicant will have a 1st class degree (and ideally a Masters degree) in an appropriate field. The precise topic of the PhD can be fixed after the scholarship has been awarded.
The scholarship is for 3.5 years starting 1st October 2017
Application instructions:
Eukaryotic cells exhibit considerable variability in their responses in terms of observables such as cell shape, cell area, cytoskeletal protein arrangements etc. This variability/fluctuation is inherent to the bio-chemical processes occurring within cells: in-fact cells use these fluctuations to detect and respond to their environment. However, these fluctuations have largely been neglected in most modelling approaches with attention restricted to deterministic models.
Professor GQ Zhang's research group has an immediate post-doc position at Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. The position will be effective from January 2017 for at least two year period of contract. The applicant must have a PhD degree in engineering or science field with a strong record of publications in archived journals. The related research areas involve with micro-/nano- heterogeneous systems integration, reliability and manufacturing, and new material development.
Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for two postdoctoral positions immediately available in the Multiscale Multiphysics Design Optimisation (M2DO) lab, led by H Alicia Kim.
Candidates must have a strong background in mathematical optimization, finite element method and computer programming, and be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to structural design and optimization. Experience or interest in developing numerical methods and/or large-scale high performance computing and collaborative software development is also desirable.
The position is part of the project “Electro-plastic deformation of Al-Cu eutectic alloys” within the priority programme “Manipulation of Matter Controlled by Electric and Magnetic Fields: Towards Novel Synthesis and Processing Routes of Inorganic Materials” (SPP 1959).

One PhD position is currently available in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. The project aims to investigate plasma induced damage in solids. This program includes performing experimental mechanics tests, materials characterization techniques and computational materials science methods. Candidates should have a background in solid mechanics, materials science, and physics.
One PhD position is currently available in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia). The project aims to investigate the mechanical behaviour of hydrogels and will involve the development of novel constitutive theories as well as their implementation in a finite element code.
Candidates should have a strong background in solid mechanics, applied mathematics and programming.
