Dear All,

A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.

The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural
and social sciences.

The scheme provides funding to successful candidates for up to 2 years to work with research groups at a UK research Institution and to establish long term international collaborations.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at the University of Pittsburgh, Department of Chemical Engineering, under the direction of Prof. Karl Johnson (http://puccini.che.pitt.edu/).  This position is funded by a grant from DARPA (http://www.darpa.mil/) and is in collaboration with experimental groups at Teledyne (http://www.teledyne.com/) and at Virginia Tech with Prof. Eva Marand.

Several postdoctoral and PhD research positions are currently open in the Advanced Computational Technology (ACT) group at the University of Pittsburgh for the following research projects in the multidisciplinary areas of computational nanomechanics, bio-nanotechnology, renewable energy, and nanomedicine:

Dr. Ted Belytschko of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Northwestern University invites applications for a Post-Doctoral  Fellowships in the area of computational fracture.  Experience with FORTRAN is necessary; some experience with MPI is desirable. Applicants without extensive experience in FORTRAN need not apply.  Furthermore, applicants with experience with DYNA and/or LS-DYNA will be given preference.  The appointment will be for a minimum of two years.   Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae along with a list of three references to Robert Gracie at rgracie@northwestern.edu

Dear all,

Below is an opportunity to apply for post-doctoral positions in the UK for two years if you are not currently working in the UK. I am currently looking for candidates with expertise in computational mechanics to complement the work being performed by 4 to 5 Ph.D. students in areas related to: (1) fracture mechanics (2) surgical simulation (3) multiphysics and multiscale modelling of fracture in materials with complex architectures. Please contact me if you are interested stephane dot bordas at gmail dot com

We are no longer accepting applications for these positions.  Qualified applicants will be contacted in the near future.  

Thank you for your interest,

 Robert Gracie
