job

We have an opening for a post doctoral associate to work on biomimetic fibrillar interfaces.  We are seeking a person with skills and interests in mechanical testing and microfabrication, and background in contact and fracture mechanics.  The work will be in the group of Anand Jagota at Lehigh University in collaboration with the group of Herbert Hui at Cornell University.   Please contact either Anand Jagota (anj6 [at] lehigh.edu) or Herbert Hui (ch45

There is a potential opening for a graduate student research assistantship in Department of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Interested students with strong academic background with interest in theory and experiments in the areas of dynamics and vibrations, applied (solid) mechanics are encouraged to apply. Initial queries to be addressed to Srikanth (spa21 [at] bath.ac.uk (spa21[at]bath[dot]ac[dot]uk)).

Several postdoctoral and PhD research positions are currently open in the Advanced Computational Technology (ACT) group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects in the multidisciplinary areas of computational nanomechanics, bio-nanotechnology, renewable energy, and nanomedicine:

A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting October 1st at the Department of Engineering in Cambridge. The successful candidate will work on a project on parallel numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction with application to life sciences.

A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the Johnson research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  The position will involve continuum finite element modeling of multiphysics and interfacial phenomena in micro- and nanoscale electronic materials processing applications.
