Dear colleagues,

on behalf of the organizers, I would like to bring to your attention the training course for Ph.D. students, engineers, and researchers interested in acquiring the working knowledge of OOFEM, an open-source object-oriented finite element package that has been developed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague for more than twenty years.

Job Summary

Altair is seeking a Software Engineer to assist in the development of OptiStruct, a commercial finite element code mainly involved in the structural dynamics and acoustics domain. The candidate will be mainly responsible for writing software in Fortran and C++. It is also desirable for candidates to be familiar with the noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) arena.

Hello,

I am desperately looking for Postdoc position especially from abroad in the fields of Impact Mechanics, Ballistic load analysis, FRP composite structure, Fracture Mechanics, Numerical modelling and Experimentation etc.

I have completed my Ph.D. with major, "Impact load analysis of FRP composite structure" from Civil Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in June 2017. I have published 10 SCI/Scopus Indexed journal papers with total impact factor 17.0.

Candidates are sought for multiple postdoctoral positions in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University in the following three areas:

•Multiscale materials modeling. Expertise bridging across length scales is preferred (e.g. linking atomistic and phase field models, crystal plasticity and continuum models, etc.)

•Metal processing. Expertise in processing of multiphase metal composites is preferred (e.g. by severe plastic deformation, metal additive manufacturing, etc.).
