The Department of Engineering (ENG) at Aarhus University is looking for an innovative and visionary Associate Professor in the Section of Mechanical Engineering. Aarhus University is a top-100 university and has made ambitious strategic investments to place ENG in direct competition with the global engineering elite. Therefore, the department is focusing on advancing its research and teaching capabilities in the area of sustainable design & manufacturing.

We currently have two postdoctoral research positions available in the Injury Biomechanics Laboratory at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA starting Fall 2020.  These positions involve the development of high-fidelity finite element head models and the design of computational studies to advance our understanding of traumatic brain injury (TBI).  The first position is focused on blast-induced TBI, and the second position is focused on pediatric TBI.

Apply now for the Hector Research Career Development (RCD) Award! With the Hector RCD Award, the Hector Fellow Academy supports the research careers of promising research group leaders. The Award gives you the unique opportunity to benefit from research funding for an outstanding research project. In addition, you will become part of a network of top scientists including the laureates of the Hector Science Award. The Hector Fellow Academy is committed to top interdisciplinary research, innovative projects, dialogue between science and society and the promotion of young researchers.

Dear colleagues, I hope this note finds you well despite the significant challenges that 2020 has brought. I am seeking to hire two post-docs for a new multidisciplinary project in my group titled "Distributed intelligence in kirigami-inspired flexible architectures". In this project we aim to implement ideas such as logic, information processing, and autonomy in materials. This work will draw on a number of disciplines, including information theory, soft robotics, kirigami/origami and geometric design, 3D printing of stimuli-responsive materials, morphological computing, etc.

We are looking for an Assistant Professor who can strengthen our position in the field of Multiscale modelling of multifunctional supramolecular materials at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands. The development of bio-inspired supramolecular and hybrid (nano) materials is attracting much interest.

Currently, a 2-year post-doc position is available in the Onck group. 

We are looking for an ambitious candidate with affinity for computational modelling that has completed (or is in the process of completing) a PhD degree in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics or Applied Mathematics. Candidates that have hands-on experience with Finite Element and/or Molecular Dynamics techniques are especially invited to apply.
