A unique EPSRC funded 4 year post-doc to investigate

- goal-oriented error estimation in XFEM

- adaptivity for 3D crack growth

Are you interested in contributing to the development of a totally new concept of self-healing in polymer networks? The Micromechanics group at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) is offering a post-doc position for the development of coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics and/or novel mesoscopic models of polymer networks with dormant polymerization catalysts. The modeling work will be done concurrently with experimental research in the chemistry department of the university of Eindhoven.

A postdoctoral research position is available immediately at the Mechanobiology Group, Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatologyand Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford to study tendon mechanobiology and repair following injury or pathology. This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi-disciplinary team drawn from the Botnar Research Centre, the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the John Radcliffe Hospital to work at the forefront of strategically important musculoskeletal research.

We welcome applications for a 4 year PhD positon in the field of computational mechanics and materials science. Further details in the attachment.

The University of Chile invites applications for two full time faculty positions in Mechanical Engineering. Applicants must have deep interest in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, as well as the purpose to conduct long term, externally funded research programs at international level. Candidates are also expected to maintain fruitful work relationships with industry in their respective areas. According to qualifications, they may be ranked at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. Candidates are sought in two areas:

1. Energy: Research interests in conventional or alternative energies, with emphasis in energy conservation, generation or efficient use.

Postdoc research fellows are needed in computational material science.  Experience in molecular level simulation of polymer/metal interfaces or CNT/Si and CNT/Cu interfaces are required.  Please send detailed academic CV to Jianmin Qu at jq [at] gatech.edu (jq[at]gatech[dot]edu)
