Postdoc position in the filed of biofilm mechanics at Syracuse University

Submitted by Teng zhang on

Postdoc Open Position

A postdoc position is available in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University (SU). The research project, supported by NIH, aims to uncover the fundamental mechanics of preventing biofilm formation and fracturing biofilms with actively controlled surface topographies. The postdoc research associate will focus on the modeling and simulation aspects and closely collaborate with experimental groups at SU. The appointment will be 12 months, renewable based on performance and funding availability. 

PhD position at the University of Pittsburgh

Submitted by velankar on

One PhD position is available at the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the effects of plasticity (i.e. irreversible deformation) on the mechanics of tubes. The research is supported by the National Science Foundation. During their PhD, the student will develop expertise in experimental mechanics, finite element method, polymer science, and composites. Candidates must have an undergraduate or M.S. degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Bio Engineering, and a strong background in mechanics.

Architected Materials PhD Position for Fall 2021

Submitted by Andrew J. Gross on

A PhD student is being sought to fill an opening in the Gross Materials Lab (group website: andrewjgross.com) at the University of South Carolina. Research activities are focused on the design, fabrication, and characterization of architected materials. Students must be capable coders to be considered. Prior experience configuring optical equipment and National Instruments DAQ hardware is valuable, but not required. Students interested in or having prior experience with finite element modeling, mechanical property testing, and 3D printing are strongly encouraged to apply.
