The Soft Materials Research Laboratory directed by Professor Qibing Pei in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles is an interdisciplinary research group developing synthetic polymers and nanocomposites for advanced electronics, electromechanical, and photonic devices. Current research activities include but not limited to dielectric elastomers for muscle-like actuation, bistable electroactive polymers for large-strain rigid-to-rigid actuation, and stretchable electronics.
We welcome applications for a post-doctoral position in the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML) at Vanderbilt University. MCML is a part of the interdisciplinary Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MuMS) facility.
Two faculty positions are available in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Houston. One is in the general area of geoengineering (including geomechanics), and the other in the general area of fluid mechanics. Additional information is included in the attached advertisements.
Applications are invited for two PhD positions (four years) in the area of computational modelling in the Computational Mechanics of Materials group of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Institut Lumière Matière of the University of Lyon in France to simulate by MD in controlled geometries the interactions between dislocations and general "dirty" grain boundaries. This work is part of an EU project on fatigue deformation involving France, Germany and Belgium.
