Our Group of High Performance Materials in Enviormental & Civil Engineering Department at Michigan State University has an openings for PhD positions to work on Multiscale Modeling of Soft Materials starting sSummer or Fall 2015.
A postdoctoral position is open at SISSA (http://www.sissa.it/) within the research group SISSA-mathLab (http://mathlab.sissa.it/). Prof. Antonio DeSimone (PI of the ERC Advanced Grant 340685-MicroMotility) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to carry out an experimental activity focused on the study of low Reynolds number micro-swimmers. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to collaborate with other scientists of the group. A suitable candidate should have a strong background as an experimentalist.
Prof. Wei Cai at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Stanford University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on the modeling of dislocations in strained semiconductor structures. The major task of this project is the development of an interface between the Dislocation Dynamics program (ParaDiS) with a general purpose Finite Element Method (FEM) program (such as ABAQUS). Molecular dynamics simulations may be required to provide physical input to the Dislocation Dynamics model.
<p>Two PhD positions are available at the Department of Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University in the area of characterization and micromechanical modeling of organic-rich shales. Candidates should have a BS or MS degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, material science or other related areas. Candidates with background in experimental and modeling of porous materials are highly preferred.
Virtual forming of metallic sheet materials: prediction of forming and in-life behaviors within an integrated approach
Applications are invited for a 2 year Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Andrew Bunger's group at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The group conducts research in geomechanics with an emphasis on mechanics of hydraulic fractures and poromechanics of rocks.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras is seeking to fill Assistant Professor vacancies in the following research areas.
1) Experimental Structural Mechanics/ Composites
2) Aircraft Aerodynamics (experimentalists preferred)
3) Control and Flight Mechanics of Aerospace vehicles
4) Aircraft Design (aerodynamic/structural)

My PhD in Mechanical Engineering Dept. of Middle East Technical University, Turkey ended by Dec. 2014. In both M.S. and PhD I studied the numerical analyses of metal forming processes with ABAQUS together with huge experimental works. I have a patented idea in hydroforming of sheet metals in my M.S. and also I have developed a Ductile Fracture Criterion during my PhD which means I have a robust background of computational mechanics.
Dear Fellow Members,
I am currently pursuing my PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Ralf Müller at the Institute for Applied Mechanics, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany. I have submitted my dissertation on October 2014. And expecting to defend my PhD work on March, 2015.
