job

Multiple PhD positions are available for the fall 2012/winter 2013 semesters in microstructure-mechanics relationships for structural materials at high temperatures in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (http://www.cavs.msstate.edu) at Mississippi State University.  The project is funded through Air Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR) and will involve multiscale materials characterization, in situ SEM experiments, and high temperature mechanical testing for turbine blade structural materials (nickel-based superalloys). 

Two Masters' positions are now available for the winter semester (starting in January), 2013 on computational materials sciene in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the Unviersity of Manitoba. The potential student(s) will work on the thermostability and mechanical properties in nanocrystalline materials and crystalline/amorphous composites. Students with strong interests in atomistic simulations (MD, ab inito, monte carlo, etc.) and good programming skills (C, Fortran, etc.) are encouraged to apply. Intrested students please send a CV and inquires to Prof.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Brinson’s Advanced Materials Lab involving collaborative work on finite element modeling of nanostructured polymer composites. The majority of the work will be split across two projects on the subject.  The first project involves 3D modeling of filled elastomers, with a focus on the viscoelastic properties. Non-linear viscoelastic modeling experience is a plus, but not required.

Professor Gregory B. Thompson at the University of Alabama seeks post doctoral applicants for projects related to deformation modeling and oxidation in high temperature ceramic systems.  The qualified candidate will use modeling to explain and help direct experimental studies.

FINAL CALL: Position for a Marie-Curie PhD student in Computational Mechanics at Valencia, Spain.

Research Associate in Clean Steel Processing

Imperial College London - Department of Materials

Salary:  £31,300 per annum

Fixed term appointment for 36 months

The Department of Materials at Imperial College London wishes to appoint a Research Associate to explore the electropulsing-assisted clean steel processing science and technology. The project is funded by EPSRC for 36 months, and is associated with TATA Steel UK Technology Centres 

Ph.D. studentships are available in the Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing
Engineering at the University of Manitoba, Canada. The research projects involve the
development of numerical modelling and parallel computer codes for studying
turbulent heat, mass and fluid flows within an environment with
complex geometries.



Successful candidates should have experience and/or interest in the following areas:
turbulence theory, LES, RANS, DNS, numerical algorithms, FORTRAN 90/95 and C

There is an opening for a research professor position in Advanced Engineering Mechanics Lab at KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea.
