job

A postdoctoral position at Sandia National Labs in Livermore, CA is available for an applied mechanics engineer with a strong background in computational constitutive model development. The work will support our current projects in the areas of continuum plasticity and failure modeling. The applicant will also be expected to implement models into Sandia computer codes for high-performance computing simulations. In addition, the candidate will collaborate with structural analysts to apply these advanced models to Sandia applications.

A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the areas of multiscale/multiresolution formulations and analysis in computational mechanics/physics. The project entails investigation of stochastic upscaling techniques and derivations of reduced-order models. Interested applicants should preferably have backround in uncertainty modeling and/or statistical learning. Proficiency in scientific computing and programming is necessary.

Inquiries and applications (including a detailed CV with names of three references) should be directed to:

ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company has immediate openings in Computational Geomechanics and Rock Physics at its Corporate Strategic Research Laboratory in Annandale, NJ. 

To be considered, applicants must satisfy the requirements described in the attached flyer and submit a cover letter and resume directly to the ExxonMobil website (www.exxonmobil.com/ex).

The Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich invites applications for a Professorship in Continuum Mechanics at the Full or Associate Professor level.  Submit applications before 30 September 2008.

We are seeking to hire an outstanding candidate as a post-doctoral fellow to work on large-scale molecular dynamics of polymers and polymer composites. The project focuses on the characterization of the molecular mechanisms that govern the mechanical responseof these materials. The successful candidate will work in the Strachan group and will have the opportunity to interact with experimentalists and theoreticians in academia, industry and national labs.

A postdoc position in multiscale stochastic computation will be available in Fall 2008. Experience on finite elements, multiscale methods, high performance/parallel computing, or computational fracture/damage modeling is desired. Please contact:
