Preferred qualifications:

The IDM lab at University of California, Merced  (http://www.alaqattawi.net/opportunities) is seeking applications for the PhD program in Mechanical Engineering with a starting date of spring 2017. The research position is in the area of Mechanics & Materials of Origami Metal Structures.

Required qualifications

* A Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering or closely related fields with a GPA of 3 or more.

We are looking for a doctoral student to join our Arctic Marine and Ice Technology research group at the Aalto University (Finland), Department of Mechanical Engineering, to study ice-structure interaction process in shallow water using numerical simulations.  In the complex ice-structure interaction process an intact ice sheet fails into discrete ice blocks, which affect further stages of the process. Realistic calculations of ice loads due to this process require modeling of the ice blocks and their pile-up process.

A postdoctoral researcher position is open in the Integrated Design Automation Laboratoryat Northwestern University under the guidance of Prof. Wei Chen.  The postdoctoral researcher will work on systematic computational design methods that provide a seamless integration of design optimization, predictive materials modeling, processing/manufacturing, and data/informatics to enable the accelerated design and development of multiscale materials systems.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics (AEM) at The University of Alabama invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in areas related to space/astronautics and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The successful applicant for the space/astronautics position will contribute to the department’s emerging space technology research thrust. The successful applicant for the UAS position will contribute to a University-led effort to establish an airborne/spaceborne remote sensing center of excellence.

We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to work on the following topics at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  

1. Modeling the welding process using finite element method.  

2. First-principles calculations of novel nanomaterials for energy harvesting applications.  

We are looking for candidates for doctoral positions in the areas of computational and experimental biomechanics. Candidates must have earned a M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field from an accredited University. Candidates with strong background in numerical simulations (e.g. C++ and FORTRAN programming skills, finite element analysis, and high performance computing) and/or previous experience in experimental characterization of bioogical tissues are highly desirable.

One immediate graduate student RA position is available. The potential student will register to the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering and perform graduate research in the area of energy storage/conversion using first-principles calculations. Stipend and tuition support will be provided.

Any student who has a background in physics and/or materials science at either atomic scales or continuum scales is welcomed to email his/her CV to Prof. Eunseok Lee (eunseok.lee [at] uah.edu).
