job

We have Ph.D. positions in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) with a primary focus on the mechanobiology of cells and tissues. We are looking for candidates with a background in solid and fluid mechanics to work in a collaborative environment. Our research develops integrated computational and experimental tools to understand and harness the role of mechanics in physiological processes such as wound healing, and pathological processes such as fibrocontractile diseases and tumor progression.

Multiple fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Fall, 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). The research work will focus on the mechanical and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.

The research topics include:

(1)   Polymer composites;

(2)   Medium/High entropy alloys;

(3)   Biomaterials;

(4)   Machine learning.

Multiple postdoc and Ph.D. positions are available in Wang Research lab (https://www.wangresearchlab.com) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Institute of Materials Science at the University of Connecticut.

Postdoc positions

Qualifications:

·       Ph.D. degree in Engineering Mechanics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, or a closely related area.

We are looking for an outstanding postdoc for research on statistical finite elements and Bayesian inference in structural/solid mechanics with applications to digital twins. 

Candidates should have a strong background in at least two of the following:

• Computational Solid/Structural Mechanics 
• Bayesian Inference and Probabilistic Machine Learning 
• Uncertainty Quantification
• Constitutive modelling

Additional experience and skills required include:

Two PhD positions in the area of computational materials science (one is on Kinetic Monte Carlo Modeling of interface phenomena and another one on phase field modeling of solid-state phase transformation) is available in the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at the Virginia Tech. Candidates should be strongly self-motivated individuals in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science and engineering or other closely related disciplines.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist Opportunity

The Division of Cardiac, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The individual will be responsible for management of laboratory functions and development of a research program that focuses on translational research and basic science applied to pediatric cardiac surgery.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southampton is recruiting at Assistant/Associate Professor level in experimental solid mechanics. The application deadline is Jan. 19th 2022. More information is available here. This is an opportunity to join a very well equipped lab in the field of image-based mechanics with activities in a broad range of subjects. Some examples can be found on the PhotoDyn website.
