job

Starting April 2016, we will have openings for two post-doctoral fellow positions in experimental and computational mechanics of advanced polymers. These positions will support a new research program between Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and National University of Singapore (NUS) funded by Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The project focuses on synthesizing, characterizing, modeling, and simulating the thermo-mechanical behavior of polymers with covalent adaptable networks (CANs), e.g. vitrimers.

We are looking for candidates for doctoral positions in the areas of a) computational mechanics, and b) 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 previous experience in experimental characterization of tissues are highly desirable.

A Senior Researcher/Researcher position is available at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), at the Department of Wind Energy in the Section of Composites and Materials Mechanics. The Section consists of about 30 people and has modern laboratories for manufacturing and mechanical testing of composite materials. Research is conducted in research projects usually with external national or international collaboration. The research focusses on composites materials consisting of long, aligned fibres in a polymer matrix for use in wind turbine blades. 

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral and a PhD studentship position at the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (CCM) focused on multiscale modeling and experiments of high performance ballistic fibers and composites

I am an experienced professional in structure borne sound, structural and machinery dynamics, vibro-acoustics, and now actively looking for a career opportunity in R&Ds or in Industries. Ph.D. in acoustics & vibration, around 5 years of work experience in R&Ds and Industries, published articles in reputed international Journals and Conferences with modelling, simulation, testing and analysis experience backed by relevant course-works. In achieving this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined in arriving at my goals.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow research position at Johns Hopkins University, focused on the computational modeling and nonlinear mechanics of architected materials.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Mechanical/Civil Engineering or a related discipline, and should have demonstrated background in computational solid mechanics. Previous experience with cellular/porous materials is preferred. Excellent written and verbal communication skills and organizational talents are expected.

The Depart­ment of Physics and Astronomy invites ap­plications for a tenure-track position in physics in the area of experimental nanomechanics/tribology starting Fall 2016. Re­spon­si­bilities include: teaching a full range of classes (from introductory to graduate level) in physics, especially mechanics; lead­ing mechanics-related activities; performing departmental service; and conducting scholarly activity. Minimum qualifications: A master's degree plus 18 semester hours.  Preferred qualifications: Ph.D.

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Manchester to help develop the next generation of simulation tools. These will be used to evaluate the structural integrity of novel aerospace composites under a wide range of operational conditions. The student will join a €3-4M euro research project that has recently been funded to investigate the use of biomaterials in aerospace composites. The project involves a range of academic and industrial partners in Europe and China, providing many opportunities for overseas research visits.
