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.
