Deadline for applying is July 31, 2015.
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in Dr. Yong Zhu’s lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University. The project involves mechanics, multiphysics and interface mechanics of two-dimensioanl (2D) nanomaterials. The successful candidate will have the opportunities to collaborate with researchers in the areas ranging from nanomaterial synthesis to atomistic simulation.
Requirements:
1. A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics or other related areas is required.
As part of my EPSRC Fellowship programme, I am now recruiting the second post-doctoral fellow associated with the project. I am looking for a talented young researcher with skills in experimental mechanics, particularly in the field of high rate testing of materials and high speed imaging for full-field deformation measurements. Informal enquiries can be made directly to me at f.pierron [at] soton.ac.uk, attaching a CV.
A Postdoctoral position will likely be available at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, U.S.A. in the area of phase field modeling of inelastic deformations, including fracture, under extreme thermomechanical loading conditions. The potential candidate should have a Ph.D. in engineering or physical sciences disciplines, background in numerical methods, intensive experience related to a topic in multiscale simulations of materials.
The aim of the research project is to develop a means of identifying alterations in collagen fibre architecture of arteries in vivo using non-invasive imaging techniques that can be linked with disease progression. DT-MRI has been used to characterise fibre patterns in animal tissue and this project will explore the means by which this can be enhanced in human tissue. Potential applications of the NODDI (neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging) protocol in arterial tissue will be explored.
