job

There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research position in the Advanced Computational Research Laboratory at RPI, Troy NY to work on problems involving high strain rate loading conditions and multiscale modeling. Encouraged to apply are creative, self-motivated candidates with a sound background in computational mechanics. RPI is home to the CCNI, one of the most powerful university-based super-computational research facilities in the world.



Qualifications:

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

A postdoctoral research position in the modeling of failure mechanisms for lithium ion batteries is available immediately at the Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy in Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The candidate will work on the study of failure mechanisms of lithium ion batteries which are related to lithium ion diffusion, heat generation and transfer, chemical reaction, and stress development inside the battery.

A research engineer position is available in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation Laboratory (COHMAS) at King Abdullah Univeristy of Science and Technology (KAUST).

This position will be mainly engaged in two kind of activities:

1) Act as the Lab manager from the computational and simulation side, and support students, post-docs and researchers in the group in developing applications and usinghigh performance computing facilities;

A postdoctoral position is avilable in the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Modeling and Simulation (COHMAS) Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). The successful candidate will be engaged in modeling and simulation of degradation in composite materials.

Doctoral candidate position in biomechanics at EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland

Two post-doctoral researcher positions focusing on the two topics listed below are available immediately at Research Center for Applied Sciencs at Academia Sinica (中央研究院) in Taipei, Taiwan.

1) Ab initio MD simulations of Li ion diffusion on / inside novel electrode materials using accelerated MD. Candidates with expertises in ab initio MD, in particular, BOMD,  are highly desirable.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin has a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level beginning September 2010 in the area of Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials.
