job

Five-month temporary assignment starting from the beginning of March 2015, in Service de Recherches de Métallurgie Physique, CEA/Saclay (France).

Title of the project: Ab initio modeling of dislocations in body-centered cubic metals.

Research area: Solid State Physics, Material Science

SABIC's Innovative Plastics business is the world's largest manufacturer of high-performance engineering thermoplastics, employing over 9,000 people at 40 locations in 18 countries. Innovative Plastics supplies a wide spectrum of resins, as well as advanced copolymers, alloys and composites to varied markets and applications. Innovative Plastics is looking for talented candidates to join the Technology Internship Program in Mount Vernon, Indiana for summer 2015 assignments.

The solid mechanics program at Brown has two openings for postdoctoral research associates in the areas of computational modeling of battery electrode materials, and computational design of advanced high-strength steels.   One position is available immediately; the other towards the end of August.   Both projects will have opportunities to work closely with experimental and industrial collaborators.

Position starting at the beginning of 2015, in LIMATB (France) - http://www-limatb.univ-ubs.fr - on the subject: Modeling plastic instabilities (PLC type) developing under various strain paths

Applications are invited for one PhD and one postdoc positions in the area of computational mechanics of materials, at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands. See the attached file for details.
