PhD Scholarship - Monash University, Australia
An Australian Research Council funded PhD Scholarship is available in the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University in Australia in the area of computational mechanics. The objective of this project is to develop a multi-scale bifurcation-based decohesion model within the framework of the Material Point Method (MPM), one of the meshfree methods, for simulating glass fragmentation under blast loading.

Post-doctoral position in Computational Stochastic Mechanics, Nantes, France
Post-doctoral position - Stochastic computational techniques to deal with uncertainties on the geometry in structural analysis
The post-doctoral student will join the pole "Structures and Couplings" of the Research Institute en Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM), Nantes, France (Nantes University, Ecole Centrale Nantes, CNRS UMR 6183)
We have recently been awarded a Research Project by the French National Research Agency. This project addresses theorical and numerical developments in the field of stochastic computational mechanics. The main goal of this project is to develop a robust computational technique to deal with uncertainties on the geometry in structural analysis. The proposed methodology lies on the extension of the Extended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) into the stochastic framework and the development of efficient computational techniques for solving stochastic systems.
PhD Studentship - Imperial College London
An EPSRC-funded PhD Studentship is available in the Mechanics of Materials Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London in the general area of theoretical/computational solid mechanics. Funding comes in the form of an EPSRC award (DTA scheme), and as such there is much flexibility in the project scope. A few tentative possibilities are: discrete dislocation modeling of high-temperature creep in dispersion-strengthened superalloys, crack nucleation criteria for functionally graded materials, fracture and post-operative remodeling of trabecular bone (jointly with the biomechanics group).
Faculty Position of Structures/ Mechanics/Materials at Vanderbilt University
Vanderbilt University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is seeking candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty position commencing Fall 2007. Appointment at the assistant professor level is anticipated but higher ranks will be considered for truly outstanding candidates. The successful candidate will have research and teaching expertise in structures with a research focus in one or more of the following areas: structural health monitoring, systems-scale failure analysis, dynamic control, computational mechanics and micromechanics, advanced materials (e.g., n
PhD and Postdoctoral Scholarships in Theoretical Modelling and Numerical Simulation of Snow Avalanche, Austria
University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria
A three-year fully funded PhD and a two-year postdoctoral scholarships are available immediately within a research project financed by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF).
The project deals with the theoretical modelling and numerical simulation of snow avalanches. Some emphasis is given to the interaction between snow avalanches and protection structures. The research of the applicants will include the further development of the theoretical model and the numerical analysis aimed at optimizing obstruction geometry and arrangement of snow protection. We expect candidates from one of the following research fields: physics, mathematics, engineering science, particularly fluid mechanics. The candidates should have a strong theoretical or numerical background, and proficiency in English.
