Biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue

Preventing bone deterioration is a critical aspect of combating osteoporosis, improving bone implants, and even making long-term space flight possible, such as voyages to Mars and beyond. On April 9, noted biomedical researcher Stephen C. Cowin will describe a promising model for studying nutrient transport from the vascular system to bone tissue, transport that has a direct bearing on the prevention of bone loss.

Position is available for a postdoctoral fellow to carry out an industry sponsored project on carbon fiber composite modeling. The contract is initiated for one year, with possible extension if work progresses satisfactorily. The research will focus on



 (1)  micromechanics modeling of elastic and viscoplastic behavior of injection molded carbon fiber composites;





 (2)  homogenization techniques and constitutive model development for vibration, strength and impact simulations of carbon fiber composites.

Hope this will provide a good platform for young people.

Funded by the ERC-CoG COMBAT
(Computational Modeling and Design of Lithium-ion batteries), there are

5 open positions for PhD-students or Post-Docs

At the chair of Computational Mechanics (chair Prof. T. Rabczuk) at the Bauhaus University Weimar, there is 

1 open position for PhD-student or Post-Doc

for a maximum period of 3 years. The applicant is supposed to work in an international team and should suppose to collaborate with PhD-students and Post-Docs. In this project, effective coarse-graining methods for polymers and polymer-matrix composites should be devised and implemented in our in-house code.

Requirements

The postdoc position is mainly focused on
development of advanced computational models of microstructure evolution
in metallic materials, with particular focus on recrystallization and
related phenomena. Some experimental activities may also be part of the
work.



The employment is for one year with a possible extension to two years.

A more detailed job description and procedures for
application can be found here .

We are seeking a highly qualified candidate for a full-time postdoctoral researcher position in the area of Computational Mechanics at the Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology (GIFT), Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea. Candidates with a strong background in continuum/dislocation-based plasticity theory, computational mechanics of sheet metals, FE modelling of sheet metal forming processes… are highly encouraged to apply.
