job

There are multiple postdoctoral positions in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy, NY to work on multiscale modeling projects related to energy and bionanomechanics. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated students with the following qualifications:

1. PhD in Computational /Applied Mechanics/ Materials Science or related topic

2. Sound background in nonlinear mechanics

3. Sound background in FEM and atomistic methods (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo)

My research group in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State has two immediate opennings, starting from Spring of 2011.

One position targets graduate assistant, who will be working on computational biomechanics and biophysics. However, highly qualified postdoc may also be considered. 

The other position targets postdoc, who will be working on experimental single-cell mechanics, including nanoparticle-based drug delivery, cell responses to external mechanical stimuli, etc.

The Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor position in Mechanical Engineering. The position is open for highly-qualified individuals performing research in technical areas that support our multidisciplinary mechanical engineering curriculum. Priority will be given to applicants with strong background or potential in experimental or computational approaches for biomedical systems or components. The ability to merge mechanical engineering (e.g., solid and fluid mechanics, design, acoustics, heat transfer) concepts with biomedical (e.g., bio-mechanics, imaging, implants and prostheses, microdevices) applications is highly desirable.

The Institute of Structural Analysis at Leibniz Universität Hannover invites applications for a

PhD candidate position

(Salary scale TV-L E13)  

The position will be available from 1 November 2010 and should lead to a PhD thesis.

Research Project

We have an immediate opening for an outstanding post-doctoral fellow in our Multiscale Mechanics& Physics (MMP) Laboratory.  We are broadlyinterested in the fundamental physics and mechanics of nano/bio materials andtheir applications in innovative nano/bio devices. The focus of our current projects include: (i) nanoscale transport phenomena in pharmaceutical, biomedical and biologicalsystems, (ii) mechanics of nanodefects and their applications in engineering nanodevices,(iii) multifunctional and advanced materials for structural applications.
