job

The Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine (CeMSIM) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA invites
applications for multiple positions (Research Assistant Professor,
Research Scientist/Research Associate, postdc) to work on projects
funded by the NIH on developing interactive computational technology.  Desirable background for this position
includes:

Applications are invited for few open positions in the area of
multiscale simulation of fatigue and fracture of advanced alloys and
nano-material based composites. Primary focus of this research is investigation
of fatigue and fracture behavior of nanomaterials and to develope various
constitutive models for continuum, based on large scale atomistic simulations.
Research effort will include development of analysis and design methods toward
improving material/structural behaviour using computer simulation. Interested
candidates should have preferably MTech/ME degree in
mechanical/civil/aerospace/material engineering discipline with good knowledge

A RA (MS level) position is available in the Department of Engineering Technology, University of North Texas-Denton in the fields of piezoelectric sensor modeling and experiment. The position will start from Summer, 2014. Candidates should have a Bachelor/Master's degree in engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering with good academic standing and should have some experiences in the following:

Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position in Experimental
Granular Physics with the Collective Interactions Unit at the Okinawa
Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). Our group is broadly
interested in experimental softmatter physics, continuum mechanics, and
applied mathematics, and their application to biologically inspired
questions. Our current emphasis is on interfacial fluid dynamics,
disordered granular solids, and biomechanics of the human foot. For

The Nanomechanics Simulations Laboratory at the Mechanical
Engineering Department, Technion, Israel, is recruiting Postdoctoral
researchers and/or PhD candidates in the area of modeling the plastic deformation of metallic specimens at the nanoscale.
The research involves performing simulations at various scales
(Molecular Dynamics, Dislocation Dynamics and Finite Elements Analysis).
We are looking for highly motivated applicants, who are familiar with
modeling mechanical properties. Applicants with a strong background in
