job

We have openings for post docs and grad students to develop and use atomistic simulations to investigate surface and interface phenomena. Specific research focuses will depend on the applicant’s background, but may include characterization of the interactions and reactions between metallic surfaces and various industrially-relevant liquid adsorbates and exploration of the effects of coupled stresses in determining the size of the contact between nanoscale bodies.

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral fellowships, attached to the South African Research Chair in Computational Mechanics at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas: finite element methods for GPUs; preconditioned solvers in nonlinear mechanics; operator-splitting methods for coupled problems. 

Applications are sought for one Post-Doctoral Researcher at University of California, San Diego (USA) to join the M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for multiscale and multiphysics problems optimizing materials and structures.

Relevant research background in the following areas are encouraged to apply:

The Shields Uncertainty Research Group (SURG) in the Dept. of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University is seeking applications for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow. The postdoc will work on an Office of Naval Research (ONR) funded project developing novel stochastic simulation methodologies for quantification and propagation of uncertainty in computational solid/structural mechanics. Candidates must possess a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics or a related field.

Pr. Remacle has recently received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council. The aim of the research is to work

on hexahedral mesh generation, including parallel meshing, boundary layer meshing and GPU-based meshing. Three (or more) open positions

for a Ph.D. mandate are open. Candidates should directly contact Jean-François Remacle (jean-francois.remacle [at] uclouvain.be).

Employment as an assistant researcher (Post-doc) at the project OPUS from National Centre of Science.

A PhD position in the area of computational materials science is available on Jan. 1^st, 2017 in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals possessing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines. A background in density functional theory, molecular dynamics and/or phase field modeling with strong c++ programming skills is desirable. Familiarity with using the command line in a Linux computing environment is assumed.
