PhD positions in University of New South Wales, on structural vibration / nonlinear dynamics / energy harvesting
Two PhD positions are available:
Dr Liya Zhao from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney, global ranking QS = 45th, US News = 41th), is seeking PhD students to work on projects related to the following topics. Full scholarship will be provided (Tuition & stipend).
• Nonlinear dynamics
• Vibration energy harvesting (harnessing renewable energy from base vibration or wind-induced vibration, ocean wave, etc.; developing efficiency enhancement innovations)
PhD position in the filed of computational mechanics on metal alloys based Additive Manufacturing
GRAMME project aims at developing an efficient and relevant coupling strategy in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process modelling between microstructure development and anisotropic mechanical behaviour at part scale during and after construction. An efficient computational platform based on model-order reduction and experimental validations will be established by the end of the project to meet this objective.

PhD fully-funded position in Computational Solid Mechanics - emphasis on Fracture Mechanics (call deadline: end of July 2022) – University of Udine (Italy)
Structural Integrity and MEchanical Design (SIMED) group is seeking a PhD candidate to conduct research in computational solid mechanics, mainly applied to structural problems. The successful applicant will work at the Polytechnic Engineering and Architecture Department (DPIA) of the University of Udine, under Dr Enrico Salvati’s supervision.
PhD position in the field of fracture mechanics of fibre composites
We have an open position as a PhD student in the area of fracture mechanics of fibre composites. The focus of the position is to develop "element test specimens", i.e., test specimens that are purposely-designed with the aim of checking the accuracy of model predictions of damage evolution (two or more damage types) in composite structures subjected to static and cyclic loading.
Postdoctoral Position in Discrete Element Modelling at Hongik University in Sejong, Korea
One postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Department of Mechanical and Design Engineering at Hongik University in Sejong, Republic of Korea.
The postdoc candidate should have a strong background in computational mechanics of granular materials (especially, in particle-level high-speed contact/impact of solids), numerical methods (such as DEM and FEM), and computational code development with C/C++, Fortran and/or Python.
Postdoc position available at Penn State University
A fully funded 2 year postdoc position is available at Penn State University in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics. The research is in the area of elastodynamic modeling of wave propagation and scattering in polycrystals. Candidates with a strong background in mathematics, elasticity, and elastic waves are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates can send their CV to kube [at] psu.edu.
1 Visiting assistant professor (tenure-track) at Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis Department of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
The Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis Department at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) invites applications for one full-time Visiting Assistant Professor position, starting on September 1st, 2022.

Two Fully Funded Ph.D. Position in Multiscale Modeling of Additive Manufacturing and 2D Materials
Two fully supported Ph.D. positions are available starting Fall 2022 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes. The objective of one project is to model the synthesis of 2D materials to design new processes to improve synthesis efficiency, as well as synthesis by the design of these materials, and to use machine learning algorithms to design materials and their synthesis process. The other is focused on modeling the additive manufacturing processes for in-space manufacturing.
