job

 Data Storage Institute in Singapore (www.dsi.a-star.edu.sg) has an immediate opening for a Post Doctoral Fellow in Tribology of Magnetic Data Storage System. The PDF will be involved in the research and development of advanced overcoats and lubricants for future magnetic data storage systems. A PhD degree in Mechanical/Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Physics/Chemistry is essential for this position. Good testing skills and strong research experience are desirable.

A PhD scholarship is available at DTU Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark in the field of micro mechanical modelling of composite materials for wind turbine blades. The department has well-established research activities within material modelling and composite mechanics.

At the department of Materials Science at Monash University, we have two openings for Ph.D student positions starting immediately in the general area of Computational Mechanics/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, with underlying principles drawn from Mechanics and Condensed Matter Physics.

The Idaho National Laboratory has an opening for a Postdoctoral Appointee in the area of laser-based characterization of mechanical and thermal properties.  This position is co-sponsored by the Fuel Cycle Research and Development program and the Center for Materials Science of Nuclear Fuel.  The candidate must have completed a PhD degree in Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical engineering or a related field.  The candidate should have a strong background in the development of continuum based models and/or a strong background in optics.  The main objective of this proje
