Faculty Position Opening in Solid Mechanics at CU-Boulder
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of Colorado Boulder invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position in the area of Solid Mechanics.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to
micro/nano-scale solid mechanics, mechanics of soft matter, mechanics of
advanced technologies, mechanics of materials for energy applications,
computational mechanics and multi-scale modeling, mechanics of friction and
adhesion, and transport-coupled mechanics.
Postdoctoral Position Opening in Solid Mechanics at Columbia University
A postdoctoral research scientist position is available immediately in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University. This position is renewable (up to three years) depending on performance. The main responsibility of the project, sponsored by ARPA-E, is to perform computer simulations of crashworthiness of electric vehicles using finite element method. It also involves multiscale modeling of a new type of impact resistant lithium-ion battery, as well as structural design and optimization.
