The Composite Materials Group is currently looking for a postdoc, with experience in production and characterisation of composites. It's a £2-year position, starting on the 1st of February 2017. The topic is hybridisation of self-reinforced composites with high performance fibres. You can find all the details on http://tinyurl.com/hythec .
Update: this position is now closed!
Immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow to work on 3D printing of biomedical implants such as vascular conduits. The project involves design and development of processes to print biocompatible materials with shape change properties. These constructs will be characterized using conventional soft-material techniques and their interactions with cells and biological fluids will be investigated.
The Integrated Soft Materials Lab (SML) is accepting applications for postdoctoral appointments in the areas of soft-matter electronics and multifunctional materials. The postdoctoral researchers will lead efforts to develop composites and integrated soft material architectures for sensing and actuation in wearable, deformable, and shape-programmable systems. Applications will focus on artificial skin and muscle for autonomous soft robots, prostheses, and wearable computing.
Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates and two PhDs to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering). Based in Cardiff, there will be frequent interactions with the University of California, San Diego as well as major aerospace companies in the UK. The research will formulate and develop numerical methods for mulitiscale and multiphysics design optimisation using level set topology optimization.
One or more of research experience in the following areas are required.
A unique postdoctoral fellow position that bridges biophysics (biomechanics) with host defense is available in the Department of Surgery and the School of Engineering at Brown University. The successful applicant will investigate the role of dimension and other mechanical regulators on the function of human and murine neutrophils. The applicant will have earned a Ph.D. in physics, engineering or applied math but is interested bridging these disciplines with techniques in cell biology and live cell imaging to study leukocyte migration and immune function (Toyjanova et al., J.Biol.
A postdoctoral research fellow is sought to join the Laboratory for Nonequilibrium Phenomena (neplab.net) under the direction of Prof. Justin W. Wilkerson at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
Postdoctoral position is available at the Mechanics of Soft Materials Lab, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Candidates should have strong background in nonlinear solid mechanics and experinece in modeling of soft (active) materials. The position is available immediately. Highly motivated candidates should send their CV including a list of 3 references to Dr. Rudykh at rudykh [at] technion.ac.il
Almost all heat exchangers are currently made of metal. A few attempts have been made to make heat exchangers from (fibre-reinforced) polymers. Switching from metal to polymer/composite can have several advantages:
