job

I am seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on theoretical and computational
modeling of Traumatic Brain Injury. The position is available immediately. The
potential candidate should have a
Ph.D. (or must have completed the requirements for the Ph.D.) with a background in Solid Mechanics, Biomechanics or related field. The candidate
will be a part of Hopkins Extreme Material Institute (hemi.jhu.edu), under the
guidance of K.T. Ramesh and myself.

One postdoctoral research associate position is anticipated at the Department of
Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering
at the University of Washington. The successful candidate will work on
developing novel morphing structures using shape memory alloys and thermoelectric
materials, in collaboration with the Boeing Company. The candidate should have
Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or
related field, have strong experimental experience in smart materials and

Two Ph.D. positions will be immediately available in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA,
US. Both positions will start in Fall, 2013. The research program will focus on
mechanics of soft composite materials and its novel application in healthcare,
lightweight nano-composites for energy absorption, and renewable energy
harvesting, etc. The research will involve a combination of experimental
measurements, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods. We are
looking for self-motivated and creative candidates (preferable graduate
