Post-Doctoral Openings at COHMAS Laboratory, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Mechanical integrity of bio-inspired composites
Mechanical integrity of bio-inspired composites
There is an immediate opening for a PhD student
position with a target start date of August 2014 in the Computational
Biomechanics and Solid Mechanics Laboratory at Villanova University.
Research projects will be in the general area of
computational mechanics with an emphasis on biological materials. Candidates
with a strong background and interest in mechanics, biomechanics and
computational modeling are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a Master’s
degree and previous research experience are preferred.
My group in the Deaprtment of Engineering Science & Mechanics /Biomedical Engineering has an immediate RA opening, expected to start from the Fall of 2014.
The student of this position will be working on establishing computational mechanics models incorporating essential electrochemical details to study the performance and degradation of battery materials. We use both continuum theories as well as molecular dynamics as essential tools for simulations. The student will also have the opportunities to work with experimental team members on biomechanics.
We are looking for a PhD
student to work on Numerical modelling of landslides and generated seismic waves.
This PhD is funded by the European project ERC SLIDEQUAKES.

1. The focus of the first PhD project is numerical methods in contact mechanics
"Development of advanced numerical methods in contact mechanics for aerospace applications"
2. The second PhD project aims at understanding of deformation and failure of embedded micro-chips via finite element analysis + some developments in finite element code Z-set
"Development of advanced multi-scale numerical methods for mechanical simulation of fabric embedded microelectronic devices"
My name is Oscar and I am currently seeking a postdoctoral position in experimental fluid mechanics (focused on FSI and cavitation phenomena). After completing my PhD ("Influence of cavitation on the dynamic response of hydrofoils") I want now to continue my research career in a related topic.
One Ph.D. research position is available
immediately in the Mechanics of Solids and Materials Laboratory at the
University of Miami to perform interdisciplinary research in the area of materials deformation and fracture under multiphysical conditions. Interested applicants are encouraged to send a CV to Dr. Ali Ghahremaninezhad via email at a.ghahremani [at] miami.edu (a[dot]ghahremani[at]miami[dot]edu).
The PhD student will work with Dr. Ling Liu in the broad area of materials modeling and simulation. Materials of interest include self-assembled macromolecules, electrode materials, spider silk, irradiated materials, and nanocomposites. Our webpage is:http://www.engr.usu.edu/mae/faculty/liu/
If you are interested, please contact Dr. Ling Liu at liu.usu [at] gmail.com (liu[dot]usu[at]gmail[dot]com).
