I was recently awarded an ERC grant for which I will be hiring up to five new PhD students with different types of expertise. Actual hiring will take some time, as new researchers are needed at different stages of the project (not all PhD students will start at the beginning of the project). Interested candidates with the following backgrounds and skill sets are encouraged to contact me directly at azadpoor [at] gmail.com

The ability of scientists and engineers to exploit, design and process new materials with improved properties has often been fundamental for the technological advances of societies. In fact, advances in many key domains like aerospace, automotive industry, energy, nanotechnology, rely on our ability to engineer new materials and to exploit their properties. For metallic materials, such technological advances usually requires a deep understanding of how mechanical and physical properties are influenced by microstructural features (e.g. grain size, crystallographic orientation).
In the last two decades, considerable observational and theoretical work has been devoted to all aspects of earthquake prediction research, for solving fundamental questions concerning the mechanics of fault systems, as well as for answering questions regarding earthquake hazard.The european natural observatory of the Corinth Rift (http://crlab.eu), a very rapidly deforming area (opening strain rate of ~10-6/yr) where one or more earthquakes with magnitudes above 6 are expected in the coming decades provides a framework in which the mechanics

Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University – Faculty Opening
Applications are sought for a motivated/independent Post-Doctoral Research Associate to conduct research on the nonlinear elastic response of porous materials. This project is a component of a larger program, involving Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Chevron USA, to investigate linear and nonlinear elastic response of porous materials as a function of their quasi-static state. The postdoc will be responsible for the theoretical development of modeling that will interface a sequence of on-going experimental studies.
Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering at TU Delft
The 3mE Faculty trains committed engineering students, PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers in groundbreaking scientific research in the fields of mechanical, maritime and materials engineering. 3mE is the epitome of a dynamic, innovative faculty, with a European scope that contributes demonstrable economic and social benefits.
The computational nano and micromechanics group under the direction of Prof. Huck Beng Chew is looking for interested Ph.D. applicants for study in the general area of mechanics of materials.
