please consider to attend the symposium titled" Mechanics in Energy Storage and Conversion" as part of the society of engineering science 52nd annual technical meeting to be held at Texas A&M, Oct 26-28, 2015.
Hello,
There is an opening for a PhD student position in Dr. Nadimpalli’s group at the New Jersey Institute of Technology starting from Fall2015. Candidates with good academic credentials and an interest to work in experimental research projects are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidate should have a master’s degree in mechanical/materials science/aerospace or related field with a good background in Solid Mechanics, Materials Science, and Experimental Methods (including but not limited to SEM, TEM, and nanofabrication methods).
Symposium Title: “Mechanical Characterization of Soft Materials”
Organizers: Shengqiang Cai (shqcai [at] ucsd.edu) & Yuhang Hu (yuhanghu [at] illinois.edu)
Sessions: 2
Abstract:
Post-Doctoral Researcher Position in Computational Mechanics of Materials
Computational Mechanics Research Laboratory (CMRL)
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Maryland
You will be hired for a 24 months assignment starting as soon as possible by
Vesuvius Company (Belgium) on a FP7 Marie Curie-IAPP project, in cooperation with
a very active group in Solid Mechanics at University of Trento.
The candidate will implement the constitutive models developed for high- temperature behaviour
of materials in external routines for finite elements computations and tested to judge the
numerical stability and accuracy. The software will be subsequently employed in the design
Modeling and Simulation Engineer – FEA
Category: Full-time position in industry
Employer: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
Location: United States, Texas, Sugar Land
Opening Date: 07/06/2015
Job Description
The Mechanics at Extreme Temperatures Lab at Utah State University is looking for qualified research assistants at the PhD level for Fall 2015. Research will be focused on mechanical characterization of two materials for advanced aerospace applications:
1. Molybdenum-base superalloys for advanced propulsion systems, and
2. Ultra-high temperature ceramics for the leading edges of spacecraft and hypersonic aircraft.
If you are strongly motivated to work with a very active group in Solid Mechanics,
we have a PhD position (3 years) available from June 2015,
but the deadline for application is May 14, 2015!
The position is on a EU grant and is addressed to numerical/theoretical modelling of ceramics.
For details on the application see the attachment.
Brown University Professor of Engineering Huajian Gao has been selected to receive the 2015 Nadai Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for groundbreaking contributions to hierarchical nanotwinned metals, energy storage materials, metallic glasses, and diffusional creep of metal thin films.
