Applications are invited for three PhD positions within the Cognitive Performance Optimization Laboratory (COPOL) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University (http://me.stanford.edu/) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant or untenured Associate Professor). Applications will be reviewed across all disciplines of mechanical engineering. As part of recent strategic planning, the department has identified special hiring needs and opportunities in controls, robotics, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering.
Two PhD positions are available immediately in the Computational Materials & Mechanics Laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Rolla), http://web.mst.edu/~aslezaeemm/.
The project is about multi-phase field modeling of formation and evolution of intermetallics and oxides at high temperatures.
We are looking for a PhD researcher to work at numerical simulations of the electro-mechanical response of nano-reinforced polymers. The position is fully funded including tuition fees and a competitive maintenance/salary (of approximately 3k euros/month), as well as additional benefits for those with a family. The researcher will work towards a PhD in Mechanics of Composites at Imperial College London, Department of Aeronautics, under the supervision of Dr V.L. Tagarielli and Dr S.T. Pinho and in collaboration with several research groups in London and across Europe.
Applications are sought for four Post-Doctoral Research Associates to join a very active research group at Cardiff University, UK (School of Engineering) and the University of California, San Diego, USA (Structural Engineering Department). Three postdocs will be based at Cardiff and one at UC San Diego, and there will be frequent interactions and travels between. The research will formulate and develop numerical methods for mulitiscale and multiphysics design optimisation using level set topology optimization.
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of bioMEMS. The candidate will interact closely with personnel at the start-up company iNfinitesimal, LLC and collaborators at Northwestern’s Feinberg Medical School. The position will involve research at the intersection of engineering and biology with an emphasis in device design, fabrication, and system integration toward the development of nano- and micro-technologies for biological applications.
Requirements:
The Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position on multi-scale biomechanics of soft tissues. The project goal is to understand aging and vision. To apply, send TWO representative publications and CV to Ian Sigal, PhD (ian [at] ocularbiomechanics.com). More details about the Laboratory of Ocular Biomechanics at www.OcularBiomechanics.org. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, so early submission is encouraged.
We use Hodge-type orthogonal decompositions for studying the compatibility equations of the displacement gradient and the linear strain with prescribed boundary displacements. We show that the displacement gradient is compatible if and only if for any equilibrated virtual first-Piola Kirchhoff stress tensor field, the virtual work done by the displacement gradient is equal to the virtual work done by the prescribed boundary displacements. This condition is very similar to the classical compatibility equations for the linear strain.
