job

Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer/Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 in the area of impact biomechanics research focused on computational modeling, traumatic brain injury and injury protection technologies.

The overall goals of these positions, are to 1) integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 2) develop new generation of injury protection devices.

Dear Mechanics Friends - Please share this announcement with undergraduate students. This is an opportunity for mecahnics/mechanical engineering students to learn about how mecahnics affects chemistry, and vice-versa.

The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab: https://acmelab.ua.edu) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Alabama is seeking candidates for a fully-funded PhD position in the area of deformation mechanics to begin August 2022.

Context

As part of a collaborative project between different faculties of the University of Liege (Belgium), there is an open position to finalize the development and identification of a numerical models for shape memory composite.

Post-Doc opportunity

There is an opening for an Assistant Teaching Professor in Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Posting here: https://apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF03052

One fully funded PhD position supported by NWO (Dutch Research Council) is available in the group of Francesco Maresca (https://www.rug.nl/staff/f.maresca/) at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, in Atomistic Modelling of Fracture with focus on liquid metal embrittlement.

The position will involve using Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations.

The position is for four years, with flexible start date.

Candidate's profile:

The General Motors/Brown University Collaborative Research Laboratory for Computational Materials Research has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate to work on computational modeling of fracture in lightweight metals. You can find more information about the position, the lab, and an application form at https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Engineering/Labs/GM_CRL/positions.html.

Two funded PhD positions available at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom (www.hw.ac.uk). Details below and can be found on www.findaphd.com. Both positions are funded for 3 or 3.5 years, jointly supervised by the Tissue Mechanics Group (https://tissuemech.hw.ac.uk/) and Applied Optics and Photonics Group (https://www.aop.hw.ac.uk/) with clinical and industrial advisors.

An exciting PhD position exists at the University of Warwick (https://warwick.ac.uk/) within a collaborative multiscale materials modelling PhD project on chemo-mechanical modelling of energy materials.  

HetSys is a recently established EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) which trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, real-world systems across a range of research themes which this year include nanoscale devices, superalloys, laser-plasma interactions etc and future medicines.
