job

We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral student to join computational biomechanics laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the areas of either computational mechanics or experimental methods. Candidate are expected to have strong background in numerical simulations / computer programming and/or experimental characterization of soft tissue mechanics.

One fully supported PhD position on Computational Mechanics is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University, with a desired start date of Fall 2020. The research topics will fall into the broad categories of blast, impact, and fracture. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr. Georgios Moutsanidis.

Required qualifications for the position are:

1. Strong background in solid mechanics.

2. Knowledge of the fundamentals of the finite element method.

A research group at Iowa State University is looking for fully funded research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials. Research topics will fall into a broad area of modeling and simulation of mechanical and transport behaviors, such as plasticity, fracture, phase transformation, thermal transport, and mass transport, in a variety of engineering materials.

A postdoc position as a University Assistant for 6 years, fully employed (40 hours/week), expected commencement of employment: June 1, 2020, at the Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology, Austria.

Acceptance conditions:
Completed doctoral study of engineering sciences in the area of computational (bio)mechanics.

A position as a University Assistant for 4 years, fully employed (40 hours/week); expected commencement of employment: June 1, 2020, at the Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology, Austria.

Ph.D positions now open (for Fall 2020) in Mechanics, Biomimetics, and 3D Printing Lab at Northeastern University/Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department. More information about the lab can be found at https://www1.coe.neu.edu/~yaningli/home.html

Please directly send CV to Prof. Yaning Li at: y.li@northeastern.edu  

One PhD position is available for Fall 2020 in Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (AM3L) in the Bioresource Engineering Department of McGill University. The research topic is on the area of Mechanics of Architected Multifunctional Materials. Theoretical and computational multiscale modelling along with experimental (3D printing and characterization) studies will be conducted for nonlinear and multiphysics analysis of rationally-designed architected materials. The candidate will work under the supervision of Dr.

The Mechanics and Energy Laboratory within the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northwestern University, directed by Prof. Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, is looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher. The selected post-doctoral researcher will develop a project on the multiphysical behavior of geomaterials subjected to direct current electric fields through experimental investigations and theoretical analyses.

PhD Open Positions

PhD positions with financial support in the form of research assistant/teaching assistant are available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Connecticut (UConn).

An immediate Ph.D. position is available in the Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at Louisiana Tech University on multiscale modeling of materials synthesis. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related fields (applicants with an MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language is a plus. 

Responsibilities

You will closely collaborate with Schlumberger design engineers in US, Europe, and Asia. You will be performing FEA studies in technically challenging areas such as non-linear solid mechanics, metal plasticity, viscoelastic materials, shock, vibration, heat transfer, composites, and fluid/structure interactions. You will also need to present FEA results to various internal or external clients.

Requirements

The Onck-group at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands has an opening for a post-doctoral position in the field of (coarse-grained) molecular dynamics of proteins. The candidate should have a background in molecular dynamics of hard or soft matter and is not afraid to enter a new research direction. The post-doc position is part of the oLife Fellowship Programme, a joint initiative by seven research institutes in The Netherlands for interdisciplinary research on fundamental questions concerning the origin and evolution

There are multiple EPSRC-funded PhD studentships in my research group and especially the following topics at the University of Kent, UK. 

A four-year fully-funded PhD studentship in the optimisation of 3D woven composites at Durham University, with applications due by 1 February 2020. If you are interested in simulations and the creation of non-vibrating components, check the links below for more details:
