Two PhD Positions on Composite Materials (Onshore/Australian domestic students only).

We are currently looking to recruit two PhD candidates to work on the development of manufacturing processes and technologies for lightweight fibre-reinforced composite materials with complex geometry. Project activities include design, manufacture and testing (including non-destructive testing, NDT) of carbon fibre-reinforced composites. NDT approaches may also expand into sensor technologies for structural health monitoring of advanced composite structures.

University of California San Diego, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is looking for a new Instructional Lab Manager. Application deadline: Deadline: Wed 8/4/2021.

The Department of Wind Energy at the Technical University of Denmark is advertsing new PhD-positions within 15 topics.

The PhD projects #5 to #9 in the Wind Energy Materials and Components Division all relate to wind turbine rotor blades, which are very large composite structures - the largests blades are now exceeding 100 metre in length. The PhD-projects cover various aspects of fibre composites from full blade structural scale down to materials scale.

Fully funded PhD positions are available at Computational Materials Design Lab (https://mamivand.weebly.com/). The lab’s projects are focused on Computational Materials Science and Materials Informatics.  

Department of Wind Energy of DTU offers several new PhD positions, including a PHD position in “Digital twin of leading edges on wind turbine blades" (https://windenergy.dtu.dk/english/Education/PhD/New-PhD-positions/8-Dig…).

2021MFP-COFUND-7 - Dept. Mechanical Engineering

The Multiscale Mechanics and Multiphysics of Materials Lab (http://m4lab.unibs.it) at the School of Engineering at the University of Brescia, Italy announces a PhD fellowship on the subject of Modeling and simulations for next generation lithium-ion cells. The fellowship is fully funded by the m4lab in collaboration with the Austrian Research Center Virtual Vehicles (https://www.v2c2.at) and will last three years.

The postdoc fellow will work in Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), a division of Johns Hopkins University.

Duties

• Conduct underwater impulsive loading tests on a lung simulant structure (a sphere filled with porous medium)

• Develop numerical models to simulate the lung simulant structural response

• Write technical papers and research proposals

• Guide the graduate students in the group

Requirements

• PhD in Mechanical/ Biomedical Engineering or other related areas

Two Postdoctoral Positions, 3-year full-time contract for each post, in 1) Computational Mechanics and 2) Instrumentation at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

A Postdoctoral position is available immediately at CEMEF Mines ParisTech, in the French Riviera. The aim of the project, in collaboration with Safran Aircraft Engines (SAE), is to model the fracture of glued Titanium/Composite assemblies at different scales. See the enclosed document for details.
