job

A Ph.D. position has recently become available in my research group (www.eng.uwyo.edu/mechanical/research/frick/), to explore thermo-mechanical
behavior of shape memory polymers for biomedical applications.  A
strong candidate with a M.S. or B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Materials Science, or a related discipline is required.  A good
academic record, a clear interest in experimental sciences, and an
enthusiasm to conduct outstanding research are the only prerequisites.

A post-doc researcher position is available from Sept 2009. Please contact Prof. John Wen at the Univerity of Waterloo.  (jzwen [at] uwaterloo.ca (jzwen[at]uwaterloo[dot]ca))

A postdoctoral research fellow position is currently open in the Computational Nanomechanics group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects in the multidisciplinary areas of computational nanomechanics, nanotechnology, renewable energy, and nanomedicine: 

1. Hydrogen and bio-sensing nanowire fabrication

I am currently seeking for Chinese PhD applicants (now residing in Mainland, China) to work in the experimental characterisation and numerical modelling areas of nanomaterials/polymer nanocomposites at Department of Mechanical Engineering, Curtin University of Technology, Australia. Please see my departmental webpage for any further enquiry (http://mech.eng.curtin.edu.au/dong/index.cfm). The specific research projects can be discussed in contact for the joint research interests.

HELP WANTED

I am looking for a graduate student or a Postdoc who is interested to work on a research project in modeling and simulation of self-healing surfaces and related topics.

The candidate is expected to major in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science (background in surface mechanics / physics / tribology is preferred), to be comfortable with computational software (MATLAB, Ansys or similar), and to be enthusiastic about producing modeling/computational results and preparing publications.

Please see attached file.

This position is located in Lancaster, California.

A Ph.D. Research Assistantship position in multi-scale computational mechanics of fracture of composites (with application on concrete) will be available to start in January 2010 in the Department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado, USA.
