job

We have two postdoc openings in the field of laser additive manufacturing of metals at Tsinghua University. The candidates are required to have expertise in synchrotron x-ray techs, metal additive manufacturing, electron microscopy (TEM/SEM), structural phase transformation, or micromechanics. This is a two-year appointment with the possibility of renewal. See more information here (in Chinese): https://lnkd.in/g-HbcqH. 

Experimental Mechanics Postdoc position available starting summer 2021 in the Franck Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (https://www.franck.engr.wisc.edu/)

The Traverso Laboratory is seeking a PhD-level mechanical/biomedical engineer to join the team focused on the development of novel gastrointestinal devices for treatment of major diseases. This includes technologies such as drug delivery systems, smart pills and stents, soft actuators, and ingestible electronics. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience designing and analyzing mechanical systems and materials for biological application.

Professor Nasser Khalili's research group at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW Sydney, Australia (https://www.engineering.unsw.edu.au/civil-engineering/staff/nasser-khalili), is looking for several PhD students on the following topics:

1) Computational Mechanics of Multiphase Porous Materials

2) Geo-structure Health Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Specifically, the post requires expert knowledge in experimental and/or computational mechanics of materials and/or tribology. The position is part of a large international EPSRC-SFI funded project aimed at developing next generation textile triboelectric nanogenerators (or T-TENGs) for powering of wearable electronics.  This position will focus on the mechanics and tribology of T-TENGs and will involve both modelling and experimental work.

1 PhD position (36 months) within the EID-ITN Marie Curie project LIGHTEN, funded by European Union, is available at the University of Trento (Italy).
The student will be supervised by my colleague Diego Misseroni and myself (Francesco Dal Corso), and two engineers at the English company Tensys (where the student will spend 18 months). If you are interested, please read the below description and the attached announcement before to apply.

 2 Ph.D. positions in Computational Mechanics in Luxembourg 

University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher.  The research project, sponsored by AFRL, concerns uncertainty quantification of manufacturing processes.  Required qualifications include good command of finite element analysis and related programming capability.  Preferred skills include knowledge on meta-modeling and understanding of machine learning.  Please contact Professor Jiong Tang (jiong.tang@uconn.edu) if you are interested.

I am looking for highly motivated, hardworking, and bright students to fill multiple fully-funded Ph.D. positions in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.org). Candidates are expected to have a strong background in computational mechanics and experimental methods. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable: soft materials, constitutive modeling, artificial intelligence, experimental techniques, continuum mechanics, Additive Manufacturing, etc.

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the aerospace department at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Please see the attachment for more details. The candidate should be willing to join as soon as possible, possibly in the month of January 2021.

The Solids, Waves, Intelligence, and Mechanics (SWIM) Lab, directed by Dr. Chanseok Jeong, at Central Michigan University seeks applications for a fully-funded Master-level graduate student position in inverse modeling and wave propagation analysis.  For more information, please see the attached pdf file.   

Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Duke University

Five PhD scholarships (36 months) are available within the project LIGHTEN at UCL, TU Delft and University of Trento. The project is funded through Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks – European Industrial Doctorate.

Each scholarship is unique, has different recruiting institutions and advisors.

Deadlines in January 2021. The start date is 1st of May 2021.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London (UCL) wishes to strengthen, and broaden, its current research activities through the recruitment of an exceptional lecturer in Flight Mechanics, with a proven research track record in spacecraft mechanical design or space flight dynamics and control.

Application Deadline: January 6, 2021.

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental investigation and data analytics.
There are two openings for postdoctoral fellows available immediately. The candidates are required to have expertise in one of the following areas: 1) high-entropy alloys; 2) hot cracking and thermal stress; 3) multiphase/fluid-particle flow modeling. The expertise on additive manufacturing is a plus but not a must.
