Enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral scientists are sought to work with Dr. Kun Zhou at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore on the following areas:
A full time Postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Sensory Motor Performance Program at The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
Under the general supervision of the assigned Senior Research Scientist, the Post Doc Fellow will be responsible for the development of a three-dimensional multi-scale finite element model of the human knee, and will compute the stress/strain fields in the joint soft tissues before and after common orthopaedic surgeries using three-dimensional hyper-elastic formulation.
We welcome applications for a fully funded PhD position in the field of experimental mechanics and materials science. Further details in the attachment.

Position for researcher at IFSTTAR (France - Nantes site). Soil Structure interactions under seismic and vibratory loads. Seismic responses of geotechnical structures.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY School of Civil and Environmental Engineering announces a tenure-track faculty position in structural engineering starting in Fall 2012-2013.
At Cornell, structural engineering is conceived of broadly, to encompass structures across scales where well understood physical laws apply. We are currently seeking a person in stochastic mechanics, with the ability to develop and use modern computational tools to solve real problems and to advance both the understanding and design of complex structural systems across a range of materials.
Two post-doctoral fellow positions are available in Sharma's research group at University of Houston. Potential candidates can visit the following website to get an idea of the kind of research projects undertaken in this group: http://www2.egr.uh.edu/~psharma/index.html. The positions are for one year but renewable for a second year upon satisfactory performance. Candidates are expected to be familiar with both atomistic calculation methods and continuum mechanics.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Faculty Position in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
(An opening from a colleague's group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory:)
Postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the area of materials joining and associated science and technology. The research emphases are expected to focus on computational modeling of welding phenomena including heat transfer, stress and distortion, and non-equilibrium phase transformation/microstructure evolution. The successful applicant should have a strong background and interest in materials joining with demonstrated capability of innovative and independent research.
