Scope of work includes composite manufacture, testing (environmental/high temperature), characterization and computational modeling.

Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Track Position Recruitment

Overview

A three-year PHD graduate research assistant position is available immediately in the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, University of North Texas-Denton in the fields of electromagnetic wave energy harvesting and sensing, Candidates should have a Bachelor/Master’s degree in electrical engineering or mechanical engineering with good academic standing and should have one or more experiences in the following:

(1) Electromagnetic wave theory and applications

(2) Design and experiment of electromagnetic wave energy harvester and sensors

The Masters of Science in Biomedical engineering (MSBE) is a research oriented degree program that is administered by the Department of Engineering in the College of Engineering and Technology. ECU MSBE is a two-year program with a minimum of 32 semester hours of coursework and thesis.

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original research on geomechanics and multiphase flow for subsurface engineering applications, with a particular emphasis on the poromechanics of geologic faults. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms.

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kingston University London.

The work will be dedicated to the discrete element modeling of pellets' compaction in orodispersible tablets.

The project is in close collaboration with the Kingston University's Department of Pharmacy and also the University of Strathclyde. The student will have access to the high-performance computing facilities and also to the relevant facilities to obtain experimental data for validation of the developed numerical models.

We have one or more postdoc positions available, to be filled immediately, in my research group. We are looking for postdocs in the broad area of computational mechanics.  Candidates should have expertise in modeling dynamic responses of path-dependent materials. Our project is specifically focused on the development and validation of multiscale models for energetic/porous/polycrystalline materials across length scales. More details will be provided to interested candidates.

J. Bouhattate (Jamaa.bouhattate@univ-lr.fr)

The Postdoctoral Scholar is responsible for independent and collaborative development, implementation, and analysis of scientific research in the discipline of computational and experimental biomechanics. Responsibilities include management of all aspects of research related to biomechanical characterization and computer modeling of biological tissue and implants in Vahdati Lab. The research projects include investigation of mechanopathologies of soft and calcified tissue and design of personalized medical devices.

We recently presented an original research that uses 3d printing to realise the mimicry of the microstructure observed in crystalline metals to employ crystals’ hardening mechanisms to develop robust and damage-tolerant architected materials (Nature 2019; 565:305 - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0850-3).
