The Department of Engineering and Balliol College at Oxford University have a University Lectureship available in the area of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering.  We would  be particularly interested in receiving applications in the general area of composite and lightweight materials, including, polymer, metal, ceramic, biological and multifunctional composites, foams and lattice materials. The closing date for applications is 16th January 2012.  Further information can be found in the attached files.

We look forward to receiving your application.

There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Lab at RPI, Troy NY to work on Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Methods. Currently we are working on interesting advances in the areas of radiation damage and high strain rate loading conditions. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated individuals with a sound baclkground in computational mechanics, CPFEM and materials science. RPI is home to the CCNI, one of the most powerful university-based supercomputational research facilities in the world.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for the position of
Research Associate in atomistic/molecular dynamics modelling of
lubricant films.

The research project is computational based and will focus on the atomistic modelling of

• Lubricant and diamond-like carbon used in hard disk drives

The successful candidate will be awarded with a competitive renumeration package based on his/her work experience.

I have a one-year vacant postdoc position. The work will be mostly related to development of FE models for modeling growth, differentiation, and adaptation of biological tissues. The postdoc needs to know a lot about nonlinear continuum mechanics and advanced material models and should be able to write FE codes and implement advanced material models in commercial FE programs.

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Position starting
anytime from January 2012. The applicant should have knowledge and expertise in
the areas related to micromechanics, nanocomposites and carbon nanotubes. A
good publication record will be preferred. The position is based at the York
University in Toronto, Canada. The appointment will be initially for 12 months,
and possibly renewed for additional 12 months. Candidates are requested to send
a detailed CV, together with names and full contact addresses of two

A PhD scholarship is available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Section for Solid Mechanics, in the field of diesel engine tribology. The scholarship focuses on computational modelling and experimental verification of fluid film and bearing parts of journal bearings in large two-stroke diesel engines. The department has well-established research activities in these fields and the present scholarship is partly funded by the EU-project Hercules-C. The research activities will be performed in close cooperation with MAN Diesel & Turbo SE located in Copenhagen.
