Postdoc position in atomistic simulations at the University of Manitoba, Canada
We currently have one opening for postdoc position at the Unviersity of Manitoba, Canada in the area of atomistic simulations of the electronic structure and physical properties of metallic systems. The position will investigate the correlation between the electronic structures and the physical properties (e.g., thermodynamics, corrosion/wear, and plasticity, etc.) of metals by using molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations.
Faculty Position in MechE at Boston University
The college of engineering at Boston University has embarked on a bold new strategic plan that will pursue excellence and impact along six convergent and collaborative research themes: (1) Intelligent, Autonomous and Secure Systems, (2) Synthetic Biology, Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology, (3) Energy, Sustainability and Climate, (4) Materials by Design (5) Photonics and Optical Systems, and (6) Neuroengineering, Neuroinformatics, and Neuroscience.
Postdoc position in Dislocation Dynamics Simulations of Dislocation Patterning
In our center: “The physics of metal plasticity” we conduct basic science to reveal the physical mechanisms governing the mechanical properties of metals, such as strength and formability. When metals are deformed plastically, dislocations (defects in the crystal lattice) multiply and self-organize in 3D patterns. We have developed a hard X-ray microscope at the European Synchrotron Radiation Source (ESRF) that for the first time allows visualization of how these patterns form.
Ph.D. Research Position in Soft Material Mechanics (U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident/Green Card holder only)
One Ph.D. research position is available in January 2022 at Iowa State University’s Mechanical Engineering Department in the area of soft tissue biomechanics and biomaterials. The candidates must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident/Green Card holder and have earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field. The selected candidate is expected to start no later than June 2022.
PhD position in modeling of soft materials @UT Austin
Two Ph.D. positions in the area of mechanics of soft materials are available immediately/Fall21/Spring22 at UT Austin. The students can choose to enroll in Engineering Mechanics or Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering. Some background in nonlinear solid mechanics, linear algebra, and numerical methods (finite element method and/or isogeometric analysis) is preferable, but not required!
PhD in Geomechanics or Engineering Science, CUBoulder
Funded PhD position in Engineering Science or Geomechanics
Are you interested in a funded PhD position? Do you have B.S. in Civil/Mechanical Engineering or M.S. in Structural/Geotechnical Engineering? Join our dynamic research team where you can work on ground-breaking discoveries in the interdisciplinary field of “Multiphysics at interfaces in porous materials”.
The Program:
Department Head, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department, The University of Arizona
The University of Arizona seeks a strategic, collaborative leader to serve as head of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The head of AME, who reports to the College of Engineering dean, leads a dynamic department with a diverse group of faculty, staff, and students, plus modern teaching and research facilities. The department head must be an innovative and visionary academic leader who can spearhead the continuing transformation of AME for the challenges of the 21st century. Please see the attached file. Also, see bit.ly/az-ame-dept-head for the complete job posting.
