Doctoral and Postdoctoral Vacancies

The Mechanics and Aerospace Design Labotratory at the University of Toroto (Canada) is seeking high calibre candidates at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels to fill two vacancies.  Specifically, we are looking for individuals to work on the design and analysis (FEM and CFD) of a rapid inflation system for an emergency airbag. The candidates must possess good communication skills with a solid foundation in engineering sciences.

We are currently seeking for ambitious young researchers working in a European ITN research project on the multiscale
modelling of landslides and debris flow. The project covers a broad spectrum of research topics such as
constitutive model, numerical methods, laboratory tests, centrifuge model tests

A postdoctoral associate position is available at the Computational Nanodynamics Group at Northwestern University. This research project focuses broadly on atomistic and multi-scale modeling and simulation of the mechanics and dynamics of organic, biological and bioinspired nanomaterials. The post-doctoral researcher will have the opportunity to investigate diverse issues related to mechanics and transport phenomena in emerging nanostructured materials.

The Laboratory for Computational Biology and Biophysics at MIT (http://lcbb.mit.edu/) is seeking a highly motivated recent PhD graduate with expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, ideally in the area of beam theory, with a keen interest in applying this knowledge to molecular modeling of DNA-based nanostructures. The candidate must have excellent communication skills, written and verbal, PhD-level training in finite element analysis, and a strong record of productivity publishing in high quality archival journals.

At Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institute of Structural analysis, a Postdoc position is currently available in the context of a three year project on cracks in photovoltaic modules. The objective of the project is the development of numerical models to simulate microcrack initiation and propagation in photovoltaic modules. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with a renowned solar energy research institute and an industrial partner.
