job

A Ph.D. candidate position is available in Computational Solid Mechanics and Materials at Florida Institute of Technology. Ideally the applicant holds a M.S. degree. Those outstanding graduates with B.S. degree would also be considered. It is expected that the candidate has a background in computational stress and fracture mechanics analyses and/or computational materials science. The project will be on Materials and Mechanics Issues in Energy Storage, specifically, in lithium ion batteries and solid state hydrogen storage. The position starts in Spring, 2011.

At the Laboratory for Computational Mechanics and Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D candidate positions in the general area of computational mechanics and materials physics.

The material systems that we are interested in—for example, graphene, semiconductor nanowires and quantum dots—are relevant for nanotechnology and energy applications. The current research topics are multidisciplinary in nature, and offer an excellent opportunity for close interactions with experimentalists and with international collaborators.

We are no longer accepting applications for this position.  Qualified applicants will be contacted in the near future.  

Thank you for your interest,

Jeong-Hoon Song 

Multiple Ph.D. positions are available in the area of Computational Solid Mechanics in the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of South Carolina. These positions will begin in August 2011, and fully cover university tuition and stipend.

Multiscale Methods for Fracture

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. We especially seek candidates whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of energy, manufacturing, and biomedicine.  However, the innovative nature of the candidate’s research and the candidate’s potential for leadership are more important than specific research area.

There are three open positions for doctoral students at the Institiute of Lightweight Design and Structural Biomechanics  (ILSB) of Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Vienna, Austria

Applications and nominations are invited for the position of Professor and Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), College of Engineering (http://www.engr.utk.edu/mse/). A detailed Announcement is enclosed.
