The Superior Councils for Science and Technological Development of Chile will
call on April for the FONDECYT Postdoctoral Grants Competition.
The available grants are for 2 or 3 years. The applicants must have obtained
their Doctorate degrees approximately between July of 2010 and the end of
September of 2013 (the exact dates will appear in the page of the agency later
on).
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at
El Paso is seeking a highly motivated and experienced graduate student
as a paid research assistant (RA) in our new Ph.D. program in Biomedical
Engineering for the Fall of 2013 or sooner if key applicant is found.
Research will be conducted in the newly established musculoskeletal
biomechanics laboratory in our new Biomedical Engineering Building.

河海大学创建于1915年，校本部位于南京市区风景秀丽的清凉山北麓，并在常州市新北区、南京市江宁区设有校区，总占地面积2300余亩。河海大学是以水利为特色，工科为主，多学科协调发展的教育部直属全国重点大学，是国家“211工程”重点建设的高校之一。河海大学的发展得到了党和国家的重视和关怀。1985年，邓小平同志亲笔题写了校名“河海大学”；1995年80周年校庆，江泽民同志为学校题词：“面向未来，开拓进取，进一步发展水利教育事业”；2005年90周年校庆，温家宝总理视察学校并作重要讲话，对学校寄予了殷切期望。继往开来的河海大学正向着高水平特色研究型大学迈着坚实脚步。
河海大学力学与材料学院前身为河海大学工程力学系、材料科学与工程系，创建于1959年，是学校历史最悠久的系科之一。现有工程力学国家重点学科、力学一级江苏省重点学科、国家工科基础课程（力学）教学基地，国家级力学实验教学示范中心、国家力学教学创新团队、国家精品课程、力学一级博士点、力学一级博士后流动站和江苏省材料试验示范中心。为提高本学科的综合学术竞争力，建设好国家重点学科，现面向海内外公开招聘杰出人才，具体招聘事宜如下：
一、招聘专业、方向
IMDEA Materials Institute (www.materials.imdea.org) is looking for post-doctoral researchers to work in two research projects devoted to:
- Development of multiscale modeling strategies to simulate the mechanical performance of structural composites under impact
- Development of microstructure-based multiscale models to simulate the mechanical behavior of Ni-based superalloys
A postdoc position is available in Dr. Qi’s group in the
Mechanical Engineering Department at University of Colorado Boulder starting
from April, 2013. The project will involve mechanics and design of polymer
composites. Candidates should have strong background in solid mechanics,
physics and constitutive modeling of polymers, and computational mechanics. Interested
candidates should send his/her CV together with a list of 2-3 references to
qih [at] colorado.edu.
The position concerns contribution to the development of Morfeo, a manufacturing oriented finite element software. For any of the project activities, the candidate is expected to develop the numerical methodology up to industrial maturity. First of all, the candidate will contribute to machining oriented development. Morfeo relies on an innovative approach based on level sets in order to easily handle complex industrial applications. Developments include general modeling of the machining process, remeshing techniques, new boundary conditions, parallel implementation of the algorithms. Targeted applications include e.g. prediction of the distortions generated by the clamping system and relaxation of residual stresses during turning of large-scale components.
Job:
Undertake research as a Postdoc within the project MuSIC - Modeling and SImulation of Cancer growth. This project is funded by an ERC Starting Grant.
The applicants are expected to hold a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Biomechanics, Computational Biology, Computational Biophysics, or a related field. The successful candidate will probably have several publications in international scientific journals. It is assumed that the applicants will have a good command of English language.
Benefits:
