Looking for a PhD student

Submitted by pschiavone on

I am a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am looking for a PhD student to work in the area of applied mathematics, specifically in solid mechanics (linear elasticity, complex variable methods, boundary integral equation methods) with a possible start date of Sept 2012 or jan 2013.

Postdoctoral positions in statistical modeling of fracture and plasticity

Submitted by zapperi on

We anticipate the opening of four postdoctoral positions in 2012 to work on statistical aspects of fracture and plasticity,  and in particular on size effects in the fracture of  disordered media and in microplasticity.  The positions will be funded by the ERC Advanced Grant 2011, SIZEFFECTS.



We look for candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas:

- statistical mechanics (scaling, critical phenomena, disordered systems)

- numerical modeling fracture

- dislocation dynamics simulations

THREE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS

Submitted by Alejandro Orti… on

The University of Chile invites applications for three full time tenure-track faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering. Applicants must have deep interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as the purpose to conduct long-term, externally funded research programs at international level. Candidates are also expected to maintain fruitful work relationships with industry in their respective areas. According to qualifications, they may be ranked at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.

Candidates are sought in three areas:

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University: Finite Element Simulations of Active Biopolymer Networks

Submitted by Dibakar Datta on

A postdoctoral position with
primary focus on finite element simulations of active biopolymer
networks is available immediately at Shenoy Research Group @ Brown University . We are looking for a strongly
motivated candidate to work on the mechanics of active cytoskeletal
networks. The ideal candidate will have a background in solid
mechanics/computational physics with expertise in finite element simulations. Experience with Monte Carlo methods and stochastic simulations is desired but not essential.  This
individual will have the opportunity to be directly involved in
