I am happy to announce that a postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Dolbow Research Group at Duke University, working in the area of computational fracture mechanics.  The fellowship provides the opportunity to work on an emerging class of complete fracture models that incorporate the three ingredients that are necessary to be predictive with elastic brittle materials: their elasticity, their fracture toughness, and their strength.  

The Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford intends to appoint an Associate Professor of Engineering Science (Solid Mechanics) with effect from 1 October 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The successful candidate will work at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford) and will be offered a Tutorial Fellowship at Pembroke College. The appointment will be initially for five years at which point, upon completion of a successful review, the post-holder will be eligible for reappointment to the retiring age.

We have a fully funded Ph.D. position available in the design and simulation of novel architected/meta materials, focusing on their nonlinear behavior under static and dynamic loading.

A fully supported Ph.D. position is open immediately in the Advanced Manufacturing Research Group within the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), starting in Fall 2025. Our interdisciplinary research focuses on advancing additive manufacturing technologies for high-performance composite materials, with applications spanning aerospace, automotive, electronics, and biomedical industries.

There are currently two openings in my group, the Mechanics of Materials Lab, at the University of Oxford. One is a PhD student post on hydrogen embrittlement testing, associated with my ERC Starting Grant project ResistHfracture, see details here.

Blue Halo, in support of the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), has multiple exciting postdoc opportunities in computational mechanics (available to US citizens). Interested candidates should visit the link(s) below for more information, and to send their CV / cover letter.

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Houston (UH) invites applications for two Presidential Frontier Faculty positions at the rank of tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured early Associate Professor, depending on the qualifications of the successful candidates, with appointments beginning in Fall 2025. The Presidential Frontier Faculty program at UH is a university-wide, integrated, interdisciplinary faculty hiring initiative designed to address pressing federal priorities and societal challenges.

The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in computational biomechanics with applications to ocular biomechanics. The postdoctoral scholar will be involved in an R01 funded project to study the relationship between the structure and mechanical properties of the optic nerve head tissues and remodeling with glaucoma.  The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves long-standing collaborations between the Nguyen Lab and world-renowned glaucoma clinician-scientists at the Wilmer Eye I
