The Micromechanics Lab at the School of Engineering in Monash University Sunway Campus (Malaysia) is
seeking candidates to fill a research assistantship post who are
interested to continue the project as a Master or PhD project. The research
assistant will work on a project that requires carrying out experiments and computer
simulation using state-of-the-art equipments, namely the Bruker SAXS/WAXS
machine (available at MIMOS Sdn Bhd), micro-tensile test rig and multi-physics
Finite Element software to investigate basic properties that are responsible
for ensuring the mechanical and electrical reliability of the sub-micron
wire-bond in semiconductor devices such as RAM. The work will be conducted in

We are seeking to hire outstanding candidates for doctoral research positions in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University to work in the area of computational solid mechanics.

The European
Research Council funded RealTCut Research Group is seeking three Research
Assistants/Associates over a 5 year period on project: “Towards real time multiscale simulation of cutting in
non-linear materials with applications to surgical simulation and computer
guided surgery.”

“ERC grants aim to support
"frontier research", in other words the pursuit of questions at or
beyond the frontiers of knowledge, without regard for established disciplinary
boundaries.”

PhD studentships in
Nanomechanics

You will work on nanomechanical modelling of contact, friction and molecular
adhesion at the nano/micro-scales under the supervision of Prof. F.M. Borodich and
Prof. H.P. Evans.  The studies will be applied
to nanotribological systems that are governed by the physical processes applicable
at the nanoscale. These include adhesion caused by van der Waals interactions
and capillary effects, and various surface effects. Fundamental understanding

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University for work on a project simulating cardiac mechanics in normal and failing hearts. A PhD in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering or related field is required. The candidate is required to have strong expertise in modeling soft tissue mechanics. The  successful candidate is expected to be able to develop code to simulate the contraction of the heart as well as to conduct simulation research on abnormalities in cardiac contraction.
