PostDoc position
Postdoctoral position is open at the "Technologie des Polymères et Composites & Ingénierie Mécanique" (MINES-Douai, France). This project is a part of the European project JOIN'EM. Candidate is expected to conduct enriched FEM simulation and should have strong background in the mechanics of composites (multi-scale modelling and fatigue damage). The following experience is expected from the candidate, i.e. coding and/or scripting, fatigue damage simulation and material model development (ABAQUS/UMAT).
2 Postdoc Positions in the National University of Singapore, on the Generalized Continuum Modeling of tailor-made Auxetics
We are seeking 2 post-doctoral fellows to work on the development of the auxetic material, its prototyping, the theoretical model and experimental validation.
The project will be based in the National University of Singapore, done in close collaborations with Professor Samuel Forest (Mines ParisTech) and A/Professor Justin Dirrenberger (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers). There will be short visits to France to work with the collaborators' groups.
Postdoc position at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
