PhD positions in Civil Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney starting early 2023.  The research is on computational modelling of energy-absorbing materials, computational fracture mechanics, and computational optimisation.  Applicants with a strong publication track record in this research field are preferred.

Interested applicants should send their CV, brief (maximum one page) supporting statement, 3 referees, and publications (if applicable) to Jianguang.Fang [at] uts.edu.au

Prof. Xiaoyu Tang’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University has multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions in the area of Fluid Mechanics and Soft Matter. Research in the group focuses on multiphase flow, microfluidics, and active colloidal systems, using both experimental and numerical techniques. Selected PhD candidates are expected to start in Fall 2022/Spring 2023. Visiting students/scholars are always welcome.

Qualification

I am looking for a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on an NIH project that involves collaboration with the group of Dr. Sacks at UT Biomedical Engineering and with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  The work involves some experimental characterization of tissues, and development of computational modeling of surgical reconstruction of the breast.

There are two openings for postdoctoral researchers in the research group of Prof. Tevis Jacobs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh. 

The purpose of the research effort is to understand the performance of advanced materials used in the semiconductor industry. Within this larger research effort, there are two sub-projects, each of which will be led by a different postdoctoral researcher. In both cases, the research will involve the following activities:

Two Postdoctoral Fellow (or Research Engineer/Scientist) positions in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech available for immediate start (for minimum one year)

Ideal candidates should have strong background and publication record in one or more of the following:

- Structural dynamics/vibration, elastic/acoustic waves, metamaterials/phononics

- Ultrasonics, piezoelectric transducers, electromechanical systems, multiphysics problems  

Position Description

The Yang Research Group (PI: Dr. Jin Yang) in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics (ASE/EM) at the University of Texas at Austin has two funded Ph.D. positions in experimental solid mechanics starting in Spring 2023 (apply before Oct/01/22) or Fall 2023 (apply before Dec/01/22).

Qualifications

I) A bachelor’s or a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, engineering mechanics, materials science, bioengineering, or related fields is preferred.
