job

Applicants are invited for an immediate opening of a postdoctoral

researcher position at Northwestern University. This researcher will work on

a research project on vibration energy harvesting that involves close

collaborations with experimentalist. Candidates should possess an earned

Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Physical sciences, Electrical Engineering,

Material Science, or related disciplines. Candidate should have a strong

theoretical background in solid mechanics and previous experience in solving

I am looking for a PhD student (RA) in Mechanical
Engineering to start in Sept. 2010. The topic is in modeling in tribology
(biomimetic surfaces, contact mechanics, adhesion). The initial support (RA) can be
provided via INSIC TAPE grant and other sources. Interested persons should send
their resume to me at nosonovs AT uwm.edu. The admission criteria for the PhD
degree can be found at http://www4.uwm.edu/ceas/current_students/graduate_students/index.cfm

A postdoctoral/PhD position in various non-equilibrium problems in solid mechanics is available at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Candidates should have a strong background in physics and/or theoretical mechanics, as well as experience with analytical and computational methods for solving partial differential equations. More details can be found in http://www.weizmann.ac.il/chemphys/bouchbinder/ For information about specific research projects, please send CV, a publications list and a statement of research interests to Dr.

The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, is looking for a highly motivated researcher for a three-year Post-doctoral Fellowship in the area of atomistic/molecular dynamics modelling.

The research project is computational based and will focus on the atomistic modelling of lubricant and diamond-like carbon. The work will include molecular dynamics simulations, code programming and publications of research papers. The successful candidate will also have to work closely with scientists from A*STAR.

A PhD student position is available on nonlinear multiscale modeling of materials for Fall 2010. Please contact xxu1 [at] stevens.edu ASAP
