I wrote this report a while back, and a limited printing was circulated by Wright Pattterson Air Force Base. I found a scanned version that I attach for your interest.

The International Research Training Group IRTG 1627/1 “Virtual Materials and Structures and their Validation” at the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Germany)  invites applications for 2 PhD positions in virtual testing of materials and structures (Salary Scale TV-L E13).

The positions are funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and are available from October 2013 on. The funding period is 3 years.

Carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, …) have received significant attention from the academia and industry in the past two decades owing to their superior material properties. Mechanicians have played a major role in the fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials, and in their wide-range applications. 

The Institute of Mechanics, Department of Mechanical Engineering, is looking for an Assistant Professor (W1) „Computational Mechanics“ to start work from the next possible date. Further details can be found in the attachement.

A one-year post-doc position is available immediately in the Arruda laboratory at the University of Michigan.  The position is renewable, depending on performance.  The project involves analytical and computational modeling of non-woven polymer fibrous networks during high strain rate deformation.  Applicants should have a strong background in solid mechanics, including plasticity.  Knowledge of polymers is a plus.  Send application materials (including cv, list of publications, references and earliest start date) to arruda

One year postdoctoral position at Texas
A&M University in Qatar is effective immediately; the work will be in the
field of solid mechanics experimental investigation and modeling of Mg alloys.

This position

is not located in the United States. Must be willing to relocate to Doha, Qatar.

We are no longer accepting appciations for this position.

Qulified applicants will be contacted soon.

Thank you for your interests again. 

The
Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials has immediate openings
for two post-doctoral positions, dealing with (i) laboratory experiments on hydraulic
fracture and (ii) ductile failure in metals. The primary focus in both
investigations is on performing laboratory experiments that are then followed
by appropriate analyses. Candidates with a strong background in solid mechanics
and experience in experimental solid mechanics are encouraged to contact Professor
