job

The research group on ‘Structural Composites’ at IMDEA Materials seeks a Research Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) for a collaborative European Project in the area of Multiscale Modeling of Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Multifunctional Polymer Composites, The selected candidate will work under the supervision of the project leader to develop detailed multiscale modeling tools (micro and meso levels) to predict electrical conductivity and mechanical properties  of CFRP composites reinforced with nanotubes/nanofibers.

A postdoc position is available in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) at KAUST. The successful candidate will be engaged in modeling and numerical simulation in nano-reinforced composite materials for applications in close collaboration with the aeronautical industry.

POSTGRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITIES EXIST

IN MECHANICS AND AEROSPACE DESIGN LAB IN UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

 We are seeking high calibre Masters and Doctoral students as well as Post Doctoral Fellows to join a very active and dynamic group at the University of Toronto. We are dealing with very exciting projects, including: Nanoengineering, Structural Health Monitoring, Design of Fast UAV (M=0.85), Structural Integrity of Aeroengine Compressor and Turbine Disc Assemblies, Morphing Wing Design, among many others.

Applications are sought for a postdoctoral position in Solid Mechanics at Brown University, with focus on the mechanics of energy storage materials. Interested candidates can contact Prof. Pradeep Guduru at Pradeep_Guduru [at] Brown.edu, with CV and a statement of research interests.

All,

I am seeking a student for the summer (May-August) to begin working on the conversion of an existing MATLAB-based code for the Database Assisted Design (DAD) of tall steel buildings under wind loads to C++. Obviously, the only prerequisite is proficiency in both C++ and MATLAB. A background in wind engineering is not needed as you will learn along the way. 

Interested applicants should send their materials to Professor Paul W. Leu at pleu [at] pitt.edu.  http://www.pitt.edu/~pleu/Research/index.html 

Graduate Students Openings

A post doc position and/or a PhD student position are available immediately at Biomimetics Research Group at Composite Vehicle Research Center, Michigan State University, USA.

Strong communication skills (written and oral presentation in English) and research background in at least one or more of the following key areas preferred

1. Experimental Mechanics

2. Composite Materials - Design, characterization or damage mechanics

3. Biomimetic Design - Analytical or Computational experience with interest in experiments

A postdoctoral research position is available in Dr. Rugonyi’s lab in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Division of the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, OR.  We are looking for a self-motivated researcher to work full time on projects related to blood flow dynamics and biotransport.  The selected candidate will have many opportunities to collaborate with the researchers in our team as well as across the university and to generate new approaches to study blood flow, biotransport and/or responses of the underlying tissue.
