A postdoctoral position is available in the area of mechanics of solids and structures. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanics of materials, will be creative and willing to explore new ideas.
For additional information, please contact Katia Bertoldi at bertoldi [at] seas.harvard.edu
Applicants are invited for the above post, starting Sept 1st, 2011 or soon thereafter, which is funded by Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, through the Competence Centre Programme. The successful candidate will be required to carry out modelling activities related to polymer matrix composites manufacturing, particularly by automated tow placement and liquid resin infusion processes. Developed models will be expected to assist design of concurrent experimental programmes, carried out by other researchers.
Applications are invited for a PhD Student Position to be held at the University of Limerick, Ireland (www.ul.ie) within the framework of a structured four-year PhD programme in Biomedical Engineering. The scholarship is at the rate of ~1300 EUR/month in addition to students fees. Closing date for applications is June 17th 2011 at 5 PM.
For more information please see the enclosed document.
Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone.

A postdoctoral position is available in the Polymer Physics and Complex Fluids group at Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica. Candidates must have a doctoral degree in Physics, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or Mechanical Engineering.
We seek highly motivated candidates with research interests/experiences in the following areas:
The Micromechanics of Materials group at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials in the Netherlands is looking for a qualified PhD student to unravel irradiation-induced embrittlement in nuclear materials. A detailed description can be found in the attachment. Ideally, candidates have an MSc degree in mechanical or nuclear engineering, (applied) physics, material science or a related field, but holders of a BSc with the highest ranks may also be considered.
Apply before it's too late: June 1.
We welcome applications for a fully funded 4-year PhD position in the field of computational mechanics and materials science. Further details in the attachment.
