job

Funded Ph.D. position in the Department of Mechanical Engineering- Engineering Mechanics at the Michigan Technological University. Starting June/September 2023. 

Kindly forward this message to anyone who you feel might be interested in this position. 

We are looking for a self-motivated Ph.D. student to study Machine Learning enabled computational models for applications in Material Modeling and Computational Mechanics. 

Multiple postdoc and one PhD positions are open at Tsinghua University to investigate mechanics and numerical modeling of granular materials and debris flows through a multiscale approach integrating experiments, simulations, and theory. The research will take place at Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), located in Shenzhen, China, and is partly sponsored by NSFC and Tsinghua SIGS’s scientific research startup funds.

Dear Mechanics Community Friends,

A fully funded PhD project in predictive data-driven modelling of polymer composites for hydrogen applications at the University of Warwick, UK.

We are looking for a talented graduate in Physics, Mathematics or Engineering to work on this exciting project that will combine data-driven phase-field modelling to understand better the problem of microcavitation in polymer composites for hydrogen storage and transmission. 

Professors Kenneth Liechti and Rui Huang in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas Austin have an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to engage in a funded project in the area of multilayered van der Waals materials. Although the project involves both experiments and modeling, the thrust of this position will be experimental. Accordingly, we seek a creative individual who has prior experience in conducting nanomechanical experiments with 2D materials.

The Mechanics of Infrastructure Materials research group is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to work on multi-physics continuum modelling of solid-state batteries. The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr Emilio Martínez-Pañeda (Mechanics of Materials) and by Prof Greg Offer and Dr Monica Marinescu from Imperial's Battery group.

Structural Integrity and MEchanical Design (SIMED) group is seeking a 17-month full-time Postdoctoral Researcher (or Associate Researcher, not holding a PhD) in Computational Fracture Mechanics. The successful applicant will work at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine, under Dr Enrico Salvati’s supervision.

The Structural Optimization research group at Technion (PI Oded Amir) invites applications for a PhD position in the field of Topology Optimization using Iso Geometric Analysis.  The position is part of a research project funded by the Israeli Science Foundation (ISF).  

The project

The project will involve the following challenges and opportunities:

·         Iso Geometric Analysis on precise evolving boundaries with untrimming and refinement
