job

We are looking for a dynamic and motivated new staff with interest in Cardiovascular Research and Medical Technology to join us. The position is based at the National Heart Research Institute Singapore, the research unit of the National Heart Centre Singapore (Outram Park).  The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) is the largest centre for treatment of cardiovascular diseases in Singapore with over 100,000 cardiovascular outpatient visits and over 3000 operations every year. 

We are looking for three postdoctoral researchers to work at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 

1. Two researchers are to work on water remediation and desalination using computational methods at the atomistic level.  

2. One researcher is to work on fracture behavior of weldments using computational methods at the microstructural leve.

To improve further computational tools for fracture, we need a 

talented phd. We are developping transition models from damage

to fracture  for several type of materials (quasi-brittle and ductile).

The position will be open until filled. Please send me your CV

if you are interested. 

The theoretical framework is the Thick Level Set model for damage (TLS)

and the numerical implementation uses level sets and the extended

finite element  method (X-FEM).

The research team currently gathers 9 persons.

The Computational Physics Group at the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the post-doctoral associate position in Computational Science and Engineering. The successful candidates will be a key part of a team that is developing and implementing adaptive, multiscale, high-performance (parallel) computational algorithms for numerical solutions of chemo-thermo-mechanical PDE’s with emphasis on complex heterogeneous materials, such as heterogeneous reactive composites, etc. 

The work involves working independently and collaboratively on "Investigating the fatigue life of different grades of polyethylene". The Phd student will be conducting heavy experimental work to fully characterize the fatigue property of Polyethylene. The modeling part is the second part of this work; which involves developing criterion and cumulative damage laws to predict the fatigue life of polyethylene under multiaxial loadings.
